I have the H1B visa stamp with my previous employer’s name on it and expires the H1B visa stamp with my previous employer’s name on it and expires on 10/29/2025. I switched jobs and have the I-797 from my current employer. Is it ok to travel if I return before the expiry around 25th or 26th October? Also my previous trip back home I had to stay back for 62 days because of 221g. Thanks in advance.

Yes, this is fine. Show CBP your approval notice when you enter and check your I-94 as soon as you're past inspection--like, while you're still in that area of the airport, if possible.

What was your previous 221g for?

I'm an accounts receivable expert with 8+ yrs of experience. I started with 96k per annum in 2014, and have worked with 4 different MNCs since then. Currently I'm getting approx 9Lpa, and it feels like I'm pretty much stuck here. Switching jobs increases the pay scale, while staying for a while reflects stability.

When I look at the other member's comments here, it seems majority of folks are earning 20-30Lpa or even more.

Any suggestions from mature audience to achieve a big pay raise.

I started a new job recently and then had my PTSD seriously triggered, plus a panic attack. Felt so on edge and low on emotional resources for over a week that I wasn’t myself and apparently really rubbed a few people the wrong way so I was called in for a talking to 😣. I let people know there were some personal things going on, but didn’t mention the PTSD—very unsure if that’s something to share, or if I’d be judged for it or... I don’t even know. Has anyone else dealt with PTSD and had it impact them at work, and how did you handle it?

Why if you are on H1B is so much problematic for vendors looking for contractors ? Vendors keep on asking to join on W2 rather that Corp to Corp although for employees on H1B we cannot join on W2 due to immigration issues. Point being does it matter for end client , if the contractor is coming as W2 or not ?
