H-1B Employee, telecommuting/working from home
I entered US on Jan 2011 on F-1 Visa, completed my Masters and am now working for a reputed US organization since May 2012(OPT start date: May 2012, H-1B start date:Oct 2012. H-1B till: Oct 2017). My work does not require me to go to office, so I work from Home. Now I am planning to visit India next year and get my Visa stamped.<br>
My Questions are<br>
1. Can telecommuting job cause any issue during Visa stamping? I heard someone was asked "if you can work from home, why can’t you work from India?” The organization I am working for has offices in India.<br>
2. Do I need any extra evidence to prove that I am telecommuting, therefore not within commuting distance from my office?<br>
3. I am married. Would you suggest going alone to India for Visa stamping and in case of rejection comeback on H-4 or will it be good to go as a family. My husband is also on H-1B
See clip from Attorney Rajiv S. Khanna's conference call video that addresses this question.
My family visas have been denied as they were filed 4 months late, by my hospital lawyer.We are really grateful to Mr Rajiv S.Khanna who filed this case with INS, with a proper good cause and got approved in very short time.I strongly advice to go with this firm.Right from the beginning we have been advised honestly and promptly. Mr.Rajiv S.Khanna and his paralegal staff were brilliant and showed their professionalism working on my case.Both Charu Bhagat and Anna Baker were really good in communicating with us and keeping us up to date. Rajiv S.Khanna and his team rock my world!!!!!!!
