Grace Period - Using Tourist Visa After Quitting A Job
Question details
I am here on an H-1B and I am looking at quitting my job very soon to leave the country. I am aware there is no grace period for quitting on an H-1B and I don't have a choice but to work till the last day. I do however have a tourist visa that is valid until 2016. Can I quit my job earlier and still stay a week on the account of the tourist visa to pack up and leave; or would the tourist visa have to be activated only be re-entering?
It has to be "activated." Note that under the circumstances reentry and hence "reactivation" is likely to be difficult.

Comment
I have worked with Mr. Khanna and his staff on H-1B and green card applications for a few of my employees over the last 4 years. Never having done this before previously and with very limited knowledge of the immigration arena, I have found all of the staff members to be extremely helpful! There is never a time where I can't ask questions or seek guidance. Communication is very important and they never dissapear on me. Rather than it feeling like a client-lawyer relationship, I feel like it is more of a partnership. They are here to make the process smooth and as painless as possible. I would recommend their services to anyone who is in need, whether it be an individual or an employer.
Mr. Khanna is the best in the Business (if you don’t agree with me, he is certainly one of the Best). His law firm is handling both my H1-B and Green Card, and my experience has always been really really very very good. Mr. Khanna has a very good team but when crises arise or there is confusion in the application process he will directly get involved – this means a lot - as the best and brightest person in us immigration arena is dealing your case. I very highly recommend his law firm.
