I don’t have a valid H1B stamped. But I do have an approved application. Can I go to Mexico for vacation? Is there any visa I need to apply for?

You need to get h1b visa stamped in Mexico before re entering into US. Only Approved h1b petition is not sufficient to enter into the US

It's applicable for all visas. F and J allow you to go to adjacent islands on top of mexico and canada

Get a mexico visa and have an expired US visa in your passport then you can travel there. I recently did that and was just sent to a secondary inspection. Otherwise, it was free of hassle. Make sure you return within 30 days from leaving the US and don't apply for visa stamping in Mexico

They will admit you with the current visa status even though your stamping was in another status. I'd consult with a lawyer just to be sure

I don't remember exactly. Pretty sure they checked my passport, I-94, I-797A. I would consult with your lawyer to get the comprehensive list of documents needed

Can someone walk me through the Do's and Don't's of AA miles? I think they're a joke.

I have 65k miles and I could only pay for a one-way ticket from PHX-JFK. I had to book 1 leg with miles and the 1 with cash, but booking the other leg in cash was about 80% of the round trip in cash.

My mom has 12k miles that expire soon, transferring them would cost me $450. I can pay for a round trip with that cash but I can only pay for a trip to my kitchen with those 12k miles.

What am I doing wrong? 😂

Hi Everyone,

Need some inputs before making an important decision.
I have offer from Cognizant and they are promising that next quarter they will initiate my Canada visa. They are giving assurance when I spoke to them over call. Also, my current employer Accenture is also saying the same to retain me. Can I believe Cognizant? Also, Canada onsite is best in which company - Accenture or Cognizant. Please suggest based on your experience.

Thanks in advance!

Does it bother you when someone you care about won't let you treat them (like on special occasions such as birthdays and stuff)? I don't know why it's upsetting me so much, and I'm trying to figure out what the root of my issue is. I'm getting overly emotional about it. It makes me feel like I'm making it about me vs. them, which is not what I want to do at all. On the contrary, I want them to enjoy whatever I treat them to, but this is all backfiring because I can't control my emotions.

If I change my employer now and they transfer my H1B, is my original visa appointment still valid ? ls there a way I can update DS160 with the new petitioner and use the same visa appointment ? Or do I have to cancel and book a new visa appointment with new employer information in a new DS160 ?
