  • Can I travel on ESTA before re-entering on H1B?

    I got the H1-B lottery this year for a new cap-subject petition, and expect it to be approved soon.

    However, my work start date is only in December, which I think means that I can only enter USA on H1-B status in late November (11 days before).

    I am wondering if anyone knows whether I could legally come to the USA earlier on tourist ESTA, travel and see friends for a few months before work starts, and then re-enter the USA on the H1-B (e.g. via Canada) before starting work?

    One additional thing I think I need to consider is the H1-B stamping, which I plan to have done at my home country consulate before departing for the US on ESTA.192.168.0.1 routerlogin 192.168.l.l

    Yes. You can.
    If the officer asks, just be honest that you are here to visit / friends.
