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
