Transfer while abroad

[green0460]

Hello

Can I serve my 2 week notice while not in US?

I am transferring from one job to another, on H1. I plan to give notice at my current job once the approval happens. I have a non vacation travel planned that I have to go to, family thing. The filing should be done before I leave but approval might be tricky before I leave.

Is there a way I can go for my travels, after receiving email approval and give notice at my current job from another country?

It’s perfectly fine to serve your 2 week notice while outside the US on H1B. There’s no legal restriction against it, as long as you’re mindful of your H1B transfer process and maintaining your status.

The main point is ensuring that your H1B transfer is approved. Once you have the email approval notice (or confirm it via the USCIS website), you can give your notice remotely. That said, consider professional factors—giving notice remotely may not always be ideal in terms of maintaining good relations with your current employer.

However, it's generally recommended to initiate the transfer process before giving notice to your current employer. You can start working for the new employer once the transfer petition is filed with USCIS, but waiting for the receipt notice or approval can provide clarity.

If the transfer approval comes through before you leave the U.S., you’re in a good position to give notice after traveling. If it’s still pending when you leave, it’s usually safer to wait for the approval. Once approved, make sure you return and begin working with the new employer within a reasonable time.
