Hi all! I got laid off. I’m outside USA and on H1 visa that expires in 2024. Can I enter USA since I have valid visa but unemployed? Please help as I have a kid and separated family situation right now. Thanks in advance

No. You have 60-days to find new sponsorship or you are barred from remaining in the country legally.

Side note: A child would be on H-4 status and allowed in country if your h1 status was valid, but since you do not have a job you cannot do that.

Does the 60 days allowance allow for return to the US? Surely it does.

Sorry. Hang in there.

I suggest you post in the immigration bowl as well. You can enter the US so long as you are employed (until the last day). If your last day has already passed then you are no longer employed with the company and will be unable to re-enter as an H1b worker (I.e. The status tied to your old employer who laid you off. The 60 day period will not apply). You may be able to enter either if you find another job and get the H1B approved with the new employer or on a different visa status (e.g. Visitor visa/VWP)

Working at a company and they can’t seem to hold on to their female, black and people of color employees. I blinked and 3 of the people who were in my onboarding class were either fired or they left. For context I’ve been in company less than a year and there are people who have been in the company 25yrs. I’m thinking of cutting loose before it gets to my turn.

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.

Second is a senior manager level growth & partnerships role for a slightly larger company that’s cool but I’m less enthusiastic about. 165k with 20% bonus and equity. Ignoring equity considerations, would you take the job with lower pay if the company is more exciting?
