Hi everyone ,

I hope you are well.
I currently live in London, United Kingdom, but I’m thinking of moving to the US in January.
I haven’t been to the US before, so I don’t know much. I also intend to work whilst I’m there :).
How does the US visa work ? Where in the US would you recommend to a black woman that’s scared of guns ?
Looking forward to hearing back xx.
Thank you :).

Hi Op! What kind of work you do? Health? (I see you work at NHS). That would inform where would be best to live and what kind of visa you should get. There are a few visa options, unfortunately none are that straight forward and take a couple of months to get it.

Do I need a new H1B Stamping? I extended my visa last year (new expiration date: 2024 Summer) and got my visa stamped accordingly. Since then, I changed firms and transferred my visa, which now has a different expiration date (i.e 2024 Winter). I honestly don’t know why the date got longer with just a transfer. Anyway, would I need to get my visa stamped again since the date of current i797-A (winter 2024) is different from my previous i797-A/latest visa stamp?
