Travel to India

Can someone help if they are/were in same situation.

I am planning to visit India by Feb end. I am on H1 since Oct 2016. My F1 got expired in July 2018.
I am working for same client since past 18 months. I am worried about stamping as there are two vendor between my employer (sponsor) and end client. I have letters from both vendor and planning to get end client letter.

By reading some experiences, I am really worried about this 2 vendor situation. Does VO asked about this employer chain ? has anyone gone through similar situation ? I really have to visit Inida, because of some personal situations.

Hi Everyone,

I am planning to travel to India after applying for stem extension and I will be back before my current EAD expires. However, I am concerned that a change in my i-94 number might result in an RFE. Has anyone faced a similar situation before? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
Thank you!

Hi,
My initial 12 month OPT ends by 15th March 2019 . I will file for STEM extension on December 15th 2018. I need to travel to India in February. I will be back by 2nd week of February. My F1 visa expires in 2021 and Passport expires in 2023. Can I re-enter to USA without any immigration problem if I show last three paystubs, valid EAD,proof of employment, I797 receipt for stem extension, recently signed I20 from university ? I think I will not get new EAD before March 15th as USCIS easily takes 90 days to deliver new EAD. Can I just travel with I797 receipt and valid EAD?

Hello experts. I am a US citizen and I am traveling to India on a one way ticket. I have an entry visa, type X, valid for 5 years. Please let me know if anybody has been through this and if any questions were asked while boarding or entry into India about the missing return ticket.

Hi ,

I am planning to go to India, in Jan'2017 for a vacation of 3 to 4 weeks.

My visa stamping is valid until 08/05/2017 which was sponsored by my previous employer- YYYY XX.

As part of my H1 transfer to the employer - YYYYYY, I got the petition valid until 04/20/2017 where the visa validity has been shortened to 4 months.

So, my current petition is valid until 04/20/2017 only.

I just want to know, if there is any risk at the port of entry while coming back to USA.

Can you please your thoughts/experiences realted to this?

Thanks and Regards,
Yedu

Hi All,
I am a German national and my wife is Indian. Is there any possibility that i can get a Indian tourist dependent visa for multiple entry. Since normally i get tourist visa for 6 months for single entry but some one told me that i can get for one year and multiple entries based on my wife's passport. Has any one any information about this.
Thanx in advance.

I applied for Indian tourist visa on May 27th, 2016. It is still pending.I have kept calling CKGS and Indian Embassy almost every day but no one is responding. I am almost at the verge of crying. My travel document expires on JAN 2017. Every time I call they say I just have to wait and it will take time. does anyone have nay experience on travelling to India on travel document? It's more than two and half months ago. How long will it take? my plan to travel was on August 6 to and now I don't know when should I schedule my trip on.

When I read about the new (and pathetically ridiculous, for lack of better phrase) requirement that mandates OCI renewal/reissue when a person renews his US passport (or any non-Indian passport for that matter) before the age of 21 or after the age of 49 it gave me a big shock! My first question was that how in the world are they going to handle this at all the international airports where thousands of NRIs are arriving every day and many of them would have their current passport that is renewed either before the age of 21 or after the age of 49, while they would not have any idea of the rule! Will the immigration officers deport them all?

So, it would be great to learn if you fall in the category (where you were required to get your OCI card/visa reissued but you did not and still traveled to India), and share your experiences at the Indian airports here.

I am curious as to whether the OCI reissue/renew requirement is only good on paper or are the immigration officers at the Indian airports aware of it and are actually deporting those who have not gotten their OCIs reissued after renewing their US passports before 21 or after 49 years of age.

Hello

Need urgent info.

My 6 year H1B is expiring on 27th Jan 2016. I am travelling to India on 21st Jan 2016. My GreenCard is being processed and is in the recruitement phase of Stage 1. And i will be coming back to the U.S. to work for the same company as soon as possible.

I am planning to work from India on U.S payroll.
   1. Is it legal to work from India on US. Payroll, where my salaries get credited to my u.s. bank account?
    2. I understand that i will be double taxed if i stay in India only if i stay for more that 182 days. Is this a fact?
    3. My company(x) is offering me to transfer me to an Indian company(y), where x and y belong to a parent company(Z). Should i choose to do this? and if i do what is best % of Indian Salary i can expect?

Thanks in advance
