  • Working from India during pandemic on O1 visa

    Hi. I am on an O1A visa and employed in the US. However, I have been outside the US since the pandemic began (March 1) and working remotely while getting paid. Does staying out if the country so long jeopardize my status? Do you think I might have an issue re-entering the US next month (after 8months of last exiting US)? My visa expires in June 2021.
    Thanks in advance!

    Generally, E-1, E-2, L-1, O-1, TN, and F-1 visas are not location specific, so there is some flexibility with regard to the physical work location for these employees. Employers are only required to file a new petition for these employees when there is a material change to the job. If the employees are still in the same position and performing the same job duties from home rather than at a worksite, an amended petition is not likely required.
