JoeF Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Are you so wealthy that you can stay in the US without income for 6 months? Link to comment
t75 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 B1 is for working for a foreign company on specific tasks in the US. You will be granted only the amount of time required to accomplish the task which is generally not 6 months. Stay/go home and come the right way. Link to comment
chakrakr Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 you'll need H1 stamping. Wrong ! If it is approved with a COS, OP will not require a Visa stamp. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Since the B1 I94 has to be till the H1 kicks in for a person to apply for a COS and since on B1 it would be extremely unusual to get a 6 month I94 the question is moot. Chakrakr, He is coming on a B1 visa to get a H1 sponsor. What is going on? Link to comment

Chakrakr, He is coming on a B1 visa to get a H1 sponsor. What is going on? I suspect OP will travel on B2 and not B1. B1/B2 are normally issued jointly (the visa says B1/B2). The question is, if one is granted a H1 with COS , does he/she need to go out and get a visa stamp and the answer is no. Link to comment
