I would like to go usa on my own expenses without (informing to company) quiting the present job on my current visa holding my present working company, & after that i would like to transfer my h1b to some other company. Now, my question is: Shall i face any problem @ POE? I mean they will stop me by any chance, i will put a leave here and start traveling to usa. Thanks In advance
omshiv Posted June 26, 2013 Report Posted June 26, 2013 There would definitely be a problem at POE if you do not have a Job in the US..you might even get deported. Safe way - Transfer your H1B to a new company.

Thanks In advance How can you enter into US on H1, without informing to that sponsor?? By law your employer has to provide employment letter and supporting documents(797) at the POE.
JoeF Posted June 26, 2013 Report Posted June 26, 2013 If you travel to the US without the intent to work for your employer, it would be immigration fraud. That could result in a lifelong ban.
pontevecchio Posted June 26, 2013 Report Posted June 26, 2013 Get a tourist visa. If you come and find a suitable sponsor then leave and return with the H1 visa.
