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!

Passport not able to track
Hello Guys,

On march 16th i got email to submit my passport to nearest VFS office. So, on march 19th i submitted to BLR office and was tracking my passport. But, today when i checked my passport in the tracking status it shows "There is no status update available for the passport number submitted". I tried to login to my appointment dashboard initially it requested me to change my passward which i did and finally i don't see any appointment completed nor the passport status only i can see is new appointment schedule. But when i checked through DS160 tracking there i can still see refused status.

Is anyone facing the same issue?

Covid impact on non immigrant Visas
Hi everyone,

I got my fresh H1b approved and scheduled for Visa interview with Chennai US Consulate on 6th and 5th May. Unfortunately it has been cancelled due to Corona outbreaks. Could you please paint your thoughts on this as I am worried a bit, and read that it can lead to job loss and recession too. It was my dream to work there. Please guide

H1B 221G Dropbox Interview Options
Do we have any clue if the routine immigrant and non immigrant services will resume by mid or end of April ?

I know many people are eagerly waiting for the embassy to resume its councillor services so that they can go for their various follow up apportionments document submission, biometrics etc. I was wondering if we can have a whatsapp group for discussing the same ?
