Name of the Petitioner on H1B Visa Differs from the name on I797 approval notice

USA H1B
1

Hi Anil,
I am in some strange situation. I realized that, petitioner name on my H1B Visa is not matching with petitioner name on my I797 approval notice. It is showing different name in Visa. Rest of the data is perfect including petition number. I entered USA this week and didn’t have any issue at POE. However I am little worried about this discrepancy. Could you please advise, will this cause any issue in future? My employer said, it can’t be corrected and there will be no issue with that. Kindly help me on it.

Thanks in advance.

Should not be an issue if you were able to use it.

Anil,
First of all, thank you for assisting everyone. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Referring to my main question… now my wife needs to travel to India for a few weeks due to a family emergency. She is on an H4 visa, which is valid until May 5, 2025. Will this situation cause any issues at POE when she returns to the U.S. after a few weeks?

Thanks in advance

Regards,
Satya

Did you check with your employer attorney and did they submit any request with USCIS to correct it?

My employer (visa team) said that she can use the same visa stamping and re enter by showing my I797 copy which has correct Petitioner name (PN).
