H1B is resident alien for tax purposes

No. You should be Resident Alien. At least back when I registered

H1B is fine once you’re a resident alien for tax purposes

Why did your example include H1b? If you meet substantial presence test for the year, you are tax resident on H1b.

Opening an account should definitely be possible.

Thanks everyone

I’d think that has to ultimately impact home prices.

Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.

H1-B transfer question

I recently accepted an offer to join a company (A) . They started my H1-B transfer and I received today the approval notice for the transfer.

However, I accepted last week a (better) offer at another company (B) and they will start soon my H1-B transfer.

I attend to tell company (A) on Monday that I will not be joining them. Will there be any issue with company B filing for a H1-B transfer soon?
