Hi,
This is the scenario:
Am currently on H1-B with company A. I am looking to join company B in India, which has a strong US presence.
Now, company B is exploring the option of having me spend some time (1 month) in the US to familiarize myself with the processes/systems and have a few knowledge transfer sessions.
Among these options, which one is more apt -
- Transfer H1-B from Company A to Company B and then shift to India ? My I140 is in approved stage
- Convert H1-B to B1 visa ?
- Is this any faster than H1B to H1B transfer?
- Can one get a H1B to B1 visa transferred without having to leave the country?
- Quit company A and join company B without an H1 transfer?
- Is this allowed or ok for a short duration like 1 month?
- Any other option?
Any pointers will be really helpful. I am not really keen on coming back to the US, so maintaining my H1 status is not really a high priority.
Thanks.
