Can I travel outside the US after a H1B transfer?
448994
Yes you can but You must have a valid visa to return to the US. If your H1B status is approved by USCIS but your visa in your passport is expired, you must go to the embassy and get a new visa before returning to the US. For H1B cases this is only a procedure, if you have a USCIS approval you won't have any problems getting the visa.\n\nAlso, you can travel to Canada and Mexico and return on your expired visa if your USCIS status is valid. You can also get your visa from any consulate in Canada or Mexico

It's kind of hard to tell what you're talking about.  Assuming that you're American and that you're talking about travel expenses, then it depends on whether this is a temporary or permanent job.  If this is a temporary job, then you could deduct mileage, meals, lodging, etc.  But if it's a permanent job, you can't deduct anything.\n\nAs the IRS says:\n"Travel expenses paid or incurred in connection with a temporary work assignment away from home are deductible. However, travel expenses paid in connection with an indefinite work assignment are not deductible. Any work assignment in excess of one year is considered indefinite. Also, you may not deduct travel expenses at a work location if it is realistically expected that you will work there for more than one year, whether or not you actually work there that long. If you realistically expect to work at a temporary location for less than one year, and the expectation changes so that at some point you realistically expect to work there for more than one year, travel expenses become nondeductible when your expectation changes."\n\nHope that helps.

You are breaking the law.  You must leave the country and apply from OUTSIDE Canada.

If you are working for Western Union, see if they can transfer you to one of their Branches in the States or Canada.

I found the following which indicates that you'd be able to collect unemployment, especially since you're staying in the US: \n7. Can a terminated H-1B worker apply for state unemployment insurance? I know that terminated H-1B holders are supposed to leave the U.S. immediately, and I don't think they get any grace period. However, they pay into unemployment insurance the same as U.S. citizens and resident aliens, do they not? So theoretically, they should be able to collect unemployment insurance from the State, in the event they choose to remain here out of status, correct? How about if they file for unemployment insurance, and then return home, so as not to be out of status? Shouldn't they still be able to get unemployment insurance? \n\nA-A terminated H-1B worker can, in fact, apply for state unemployment insurance. However, filing for unemployment renders the worker out of status for H-1B purposes. Therefore, terminated H-1B workers are required to leave the U.S. immediately. \n\nH-1B workers do not pay into unemployment insurance, and collecting unemployment does not supercede immigration law. It seems unlikely that someone would be able to collect unemployment after having returned home. However, you should check with your state unemployment entity. \n(http://www.usvisanews.com/questions/wedquest111500.shtml)\n\nOne site I looked at did caution that having collected unemployment might not look good if trying for a green card.\nChat User : I am in the process of changing status. Can I apply for unemployment benefits? Will I get in trouble later when I apply H-1 or PR if I try to apply for unemployment compensation?\n\nAttorney Murthy : Yes, a non-immigrant may have a problem in taking unemployment since that could prevent the INS from allowing him/her to be considered not a financial liability on the U.S. After getting the GC, it is not a problem if applying for citizenship.\n(http://www.murthy.com/chatlogs/chat0304_P.html)\n\nBased on these sources, it appears that the answer is yes, but it also appears that there might be reasons to not apply. It's probably best if you speak with an immigration lawyer in your area as that person would have a better idea of how this would affect you based on your longer-term plans.

If you don't declare the money, you will get caught and get charged with a serious crime when you cross the border.  The best way to handle this is to call a bank in New York from mexico and open an account.  You do not have to be a citizen.  However, banks in the US are strictly controlled by the government and your info WILL be reported to our IRS.  You may have to pay taxes of some sort (although I can't imagine what on).  It is simple to hire someone to do your taxes here.  And you will have to file taxes and pay whatever the law says you must every year.  This is also very strict here.  Not doing so, will get you in trouble with the law.  It's easies just to hire someone to do this for you and doesn't cost much.\n\nAnyway.  Go to your bank in mexico and send your money to your bank in the US using a wire transfer.

It depends on a couple of things.  First if the company is incorporated in that other state then yes you can.  Second if the company is not incorporated in that state, but does business in that state then yes you can.  Lastly if the company is not incorporated and does not do business in that state then you can not.  Also it depends on the contract (if one was signed or agreed to).  If the contract says that it can only be filed in a certain state, then it must be filed in the state that is listed.

Yes ... before you leave the country, be sure to ask customs for the tax rebate form.

yes this can be done , however, beware that changes of status from B1/B2 to H1b are generally highly scrutinized by USCIS. You need to somehow prove that you didn't come to the US with the intention to change status... The fact that you just applied for an extension makes it even more suspicious. I'd consult with an immigration lawyer before I do anything if I were you.

1)  The I-551 (Green Card) is only valid for seeking entry into the United States.  For travel outside the United States, you need a passport from the country of which you are still a citizen.  The nationality of the passport you carry determines whether you need a visa for the country you wish to visit.  If you do need a visa, you need to apply at that country's embassy or consulate, usually in the country where you are living.\n\n2)  Travel outside the United States for periods of less than a year do not count against the 5-year residency requirement, but you must still be physically present in the United States for at least 30-months out of the previous 5-years.

Having a legitimate visit to the UK should not affect your application for an H1B.  \nHowever, if you mean to ask if you can apply for the H1B at the US Embassy in the UK -- you'd be better advised to apply in your home country.  It is generally more difficult for applicants of any type of temporary visa to qualify when they apply outside of their own country.  The Embassy official is less familiar with the circumstances and documentation from a different country and would more likely have to deny the application if it is less certain or obvious.

Yes, if you have your green card... after you get it you can travel all you want, the thing is that you shouldn't stay for more than 6 consecutive months out, and never for an entire year unless you ask for permission from the INS... cause if you get a green card is because you want to RESIDE in the US...

an h1-b transfer has no advantages or disadvantages.  But, don't you need to have worked for the first company in order to "transfer" your h1-b?  I believe that you have to show a recent salary slip of the first company.  Let your new company check with its attorneys.

If you are just passing through(connecting flight), you can! If you intend to stay in the US , you need a visa!
