evaluate my h1b situation and if i can work
Here is my timeline

Aug 26: h1b approved from Oct 2019 to 31st Jan 2020.

Jan 31: Had to leave for India when extension was pending.

March 16: Petition approved for 3 years in Feb and new stamping done in India

March 21: Stuck in India because of lockdown

I have been working from my home country since Feb 1st week, am I legally allowed to work? (h1 Extension had been pending)

My company has advised me to work from home until the COVID crisis situation dials down.

Will I be allowed to work from India since I technically got the visa but not still in USA yet?

Will I face any problem at the port of entry once I decide to return?

How many days can I stay in my home country (India) before I have to return while in the USA? Are there any exceptions made during the pandemic such as this?

Any help appreciated! Thank you!
