I was saving up my PTO to plan a trip to home country in December. Now the immigration team has started an immigration case so I cannot travel in December. I know as per policy I can only carry forward 10 days of PTO. Is it worth to try to get an exception? I know policies like these are non-negotiable.

Has anyone ever tried anything like this and got a positive result?

What immigration case that is stopping your travel to home country? If it’s just a H1B extension, you can travel while you extension is being filed.

Let me clarify. You need to be physically present in the USA when you H1 is received by the agency but not after that it being processed.

Take some PTO before you lose it then. It’s all good to bank it, but you have the opportunity to burn some time. You were planning on taking the time anyway, why not take some of it. You were prepared to take it, the project was preparing to cover you. Not going to your home country doesn’t change any of those factors.

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.
