回复：在H1-B transfer， 没收到批准之前可以短期离境吗？

Yes, but you need to wait for the H1 transfer approval in China and then, use the H1 transfer aprpvoal notice to get the H1 visa and come back. If you have an old valid H1 visa in your passport, you can use this old visa and the H1 transfer approval notice to come back.
