How can I prevent the risk of being barred from re-entering theUS after travelingabroad to get my visa stamp?

I am currently in the process of transferring my H-1B visa for the 3rd time and due to economic reasons; the gap between my last visa and now is almost 6 months long. The only assurance I have is that I will be traveling on the terms that both my previous H-1B visas are still well within their active dates. But it doesn’t excuse me of the possibility of being questioned during my re-entry and risk being bar. What can I do or bring with me during my travel should this occur to excuse me from being bar and secure my safe entry?
