Last year, I was laid off by my H1B employer, so I returned to my home country. The employer withdrew my H1B petition and, on the USICS website, it shows that my petition has been revoked. I recently got a job offer and the H1B petition was approved. Can I enter using my existing visa stamp?

Typically, if an H1B visa “stamp” is facially valid / unexpired, it can be used, along with an approved H1B petition, to request admission in H1B status. The fact that the previous petition has been withdrawn by your prior employer normally would have no impact on the validity of the H1B visa. (13.Jul.2023)
