Hi all, I am going to Hawaii (Maui) on vacation from SFO next month, do I need to carry my passport along? I have an Indian Passport and working in the US on H1B visa.
Thanks

Don’t blame you OP. My heart skipped a beat as I was driving through Kentucky. Stupid sign gave me a panic attack for a moment when I realized I didn’t have my passport.

Have my GC now, but old habits die hard. 🙄

As a general rule, people on visas are expected to produce documentation when asked for. It would apply even if you are in the city/state of domicile.

Since we don’t follow that as a practice, we extend the same logic to wherever we travel in the US. However it is a very good practice to have documentation or at the very least- copies of your immigration papers when traveling. Although not enforced, if found without papers, you can technically be detained u til you prove that you are not here illegally.

If you are traveling with family, at least have scanned copies on your mobile device/cloud for worst case scenarios.

Safe travels and hope you enjoy Hawaii!

Though the history of it is sad, Hawaii is indeed an US state

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected.

From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

I am currently based in US. Thanks!

I accepted an offer from another consulting firm and my H1B visa has also been transferred. I have not joined the new role yet. However I had been interviewing with another firm and expecting an offer I know this is not the best practice but is it allowed to accept another offer even though H1 transfer has been approved through another employer? If I accept the second offer does this raise any red flags with USCIS as they potentially see 2 almost consecutive visa transfer requests?
