Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.

Anyone know a way to get a cheap flight this coming festive period?

I want to have the confidence to stop second guessing myself when I speak. I’m afraid of coming off as an idiot, but I don’t think this is an appropriate way to think
