H1B Travel for short period (15 days)

[AYIRA]

Currently i am working for MNC in Canada. Recently my H1B got stamped in India. Now my USA employer asking me to come to USA for short term (15 days) to apply SSN & State ID and return back to Canada after 2 weeks to do my regular job. So that my employer can start marketing for me.

I have few questions regarding this.

1. If i stayed in USA for 15 days, do i need to run my payroll after i travelled back to Canada ? - My employer is saying that no need to run any payroll if you are not in USA is it correct ?

2. After i received any job offer, when i am moving to USA is it create any issue in Immigration like why did you move back to Canada in short period ?

That essentially means you are making yourself available to the employer, so, yes, you have to get paid as soon as you make yourself available to the employer.
