Anyone got h1b in India where they had recently changed jobs? I am looking to travel but my current h1b (expired) is from my previous firm and I am not sure if the 31st March rule will impact me.

My husbands previous stamp was from employer A. He’d changed jobs to firm B in the US but never went to India after that. He maxed out and his firm (B) filed for the i140 and once that got approved, for H1B extension. He’d no issues with the stamping. His current firm requested an emergency appt for him.

At the point of entry, they sent him to secondary as the officer couldn’t verify details but nothing too bad, the officer just asked him his position, pay, duties and what his new firm did. This was my spouse’s experience

I see, so this was done as an emergency though. Not sure my firm would request an emergency appointment for personal travel. Plus, when I try to schedule my appointment, they are sending me to the Dropbox option. Anyone who did it without an emergency appointment?

Amex corporate green card or CSR? I’m not seeing many benefits to the Amex and I’m wondering whether I should just stop paying the annual fee and apply for CSR instead and get reimbursed for business expenses from that card. Considering I can only put business reimbursable expenses on the Amex, it’s not accumulating points very fast. Would I be better off consolidating my points on CSR? Amex platinum doesn’t seem like the right move for me right now.
