Has anyone switched to b2 during the h1b grace period and then switched back to h1b after finding a role? (either after leaving the country after finding a role via consular processing or within via change of status) are there any complications while switching from b2 to existing h1b via a new employer petition?
Trying to figure if wiser to leave country and continue to recruit or stay back on b2
