Has anyone travelled out of the US after leaving their jobs on H1b, taken a break and then come back a few months later with new employer sponsorship (H1b consular processing) (given H1b stamp is valid + approved I 140)? Would love to chat briefly…

Currently on H1b grace period and considering taking a break and heading out of the US and come back later vs switching to b2 and continuing to look for a role… would love to hear thoughts /risks/ experience from folks who have done the same

Yes did that. Returned about 5 days before new job was meant to begin using the new employer’s H1B petition for me. This was pre trump so someone should chime in with more recent experience doing this

Did the same as BCG1 last year and it wasnt an issue.

A bit off topic. Wouldn't change of employer make the petition a "new petition" which requires the new employer obliged to pay the $100K?

Lawyers are still unclear looks like but the 100K is for new petitions that come after the lottery

I miss music. Like actual bands with instruments and vocal ability. Feels like the music industry is so hollowed out that multi-member instrumental bands like Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, and even Metallica are no longer able to take root.

There are a few talented individual singers (Adele) a lot of awful mumble rappers, but no actual bands that will stand the test of time. Before I get called a Boomer, the problems with the music industry for new artists are well documented.
