Hello:
I am currently on EAD (waiting for date to become current) and have a H1B valid till 2011. I am evaluating an opportunity to move to India to start my own business. Even though I am in the last stage of the green card (EB2, priority date Aug 2006), I reckon it will take at least 2 years to get the green card.
What is the best way to safe guard valid status in the US, yet move to India? Can I try asking for unpaid leave from my employer (big MNC) for a few months, move to India and get back to the US?
Or move to a contracting company to have my H1B valid, and do part time contracting in the US while spending other time in India.
Or any way of floating own company (guess I cannot work for it), so not sure how I can do this.
Wondering if there are folks who have done this or found details on doing this. I do have my own home in the US, not sure if this helps in anyway.
Regards
Srihari
