Visa Waiver Entry Prior to H1B Start Date
My H1B visa was approved in June 2009 and my employment was supposed to start October 1, 2009. Due to slowing business at my company, my boss asked me to start in January rather than in October. The problem is that I already have a lease on an apartment and I would still like to come to […]
