Everything I mentioned generates active income which is prohibited on H1B. Rental properties can be done as long as you use a rent manager, but that eats into your cash flow. If you manage your rental properties yourself, it counts as active income too.

A friend of mine did the same. But she waited six months post GC to take the course and gain licensure. I forget why (the wait) though.

If you don’t mind me asking how long did the GC take I am also at kpmg and just submitted the medical back to USCIS

Does it matter if I don’t meet the specific job requirements when transferring H1B? The job posted requires CPA license but I haven’t got it. The employer is still willing to hire me. I know for PERM process, meeting minimum requirements is important but not sure if H1B have such requirement. I heard that for H1B as long as it’s a position requiring bachelors degree and specifically occupation that should be fine. But kinda worried about this.

Good Morning. Here's my dilemma. I have an approved H1B application which got picked up in 2019-20 lot and approved in Jan 2020, before the world went into lockdown. The stamping process was initiated but it couldn't complete as the USCIS offices were shutdown die to the pandemic. I have watched patiently about all the regulations Trump Administration brought in to deny any entry to H1B applicants who weren't already working in the states or who were waiting to return.
