I have been approved for H1-b this past cycle. I am looking to travel to somewhere hot in the near future. What are my options with traveling without needing to present visa / passport?

I obviously know Puerto Rico and Hawaii are options but how about the US Virgin Islands?

Virgin Islands is also a part of US and as long as you have I-797 you should be good. I travelled there when the visa on my passport was expired (I-797 was valid) and it was fine. However, there is always some risk as some immigration officials do not completely understand the law themselves.

You cannot go to the British Virgin Islands though.

Did you get an updated I-94 or entry stamp when leaving US Virgin Islands?

You can go to the US Virgin Islands without need for visa stamping. It’s part of the US territory, but make sure you don’t go to the British Virgin Islands.

What about the nightlife ??

Are you planning to work remote? Or are you planning to work in a company located in said hot area?

Just trying to take vacation while my visa is pending start date 😅

I work for a mid-tier firm after working for big 4s, I joined here after being let go. Having worked for a year, I kind of have this constant thought in my mind that my next lay off is coming. Reasons I think I don’t meet the expectations- in a way my work quality is average. Given am on H1b and a family man, this constant thought of lay off is driving me so crazy that I fear might take me to depression. What should I do?

I manage const for eng companies. Got short video interview, then a job offer @ low end my req. range. Experience: it’s normal to travel for a 2nd interview in person. Result: I see quitting to do this as risky. I asked for more $ than my prior range & explained I prefer we meet in person to see if it’s a fit 1st. Hiring manager wants me and may push for the $ but not the in person meet. Wonder if it could cause me to start there with less trust if they think I abused my position for more $.
