hi all,
I am a UK citizen who was recently laid off from a H-1B job in the US. I was told by lawyers that I had 30 days to find a new employer in the US to run a H-1B transfer. If I do not find one, I will be returning to the UK at the end of 30 days.
However I need more time to pack up my things and woud also like to visit relatives (brother in law is a US citizen from long-established US citizen family and my sister is a US permanent resident). So I am planning to return to the US a couple of weeks after going back to the UK - just as a tourist visitor. There is a tourist visa waiver program operating between the UK and the US.
Should I apply for a tourist visa or should just go back to the US under the tourist waiver and everything will be ok that way?
Thanks very much for any advice!
