I now understand that I will need to go through passport control at GVA to switch to my US departure gate, but will I need to retrieve my checked bag and re-check it or can I just forget about the bag? Thanks.
Your bag should be checked through. but they'll want you to verify it (they ask for your bag tags at a little podium). I've done one hour connections in GVA, and you should be fine, they usually have a little side entrance right in front of immigration for fast connections, even (and especially) to the US destinations.
