Hi,
Hope I can validate the info here with some real experiences. I am hearing a lot about H1 Visa holders with valid Job denied entry at the port of entry in US. I have not seen any threads with the same subject and want to establish the fact that this is indeed happening. My first reaction is whether it is legal or not. Having a valid job and a valid H1 Stamping should constitute that you are legal to work in US. How is it that the officer at POE determine whether one is required to work or not ? If this info is true it poses a big risk for people like me who wants to travel to home country but no assurance that I will be allowed to come back..
I do not want to start the rumours here; just looking to establish if this is true or not. If it is, are there any options that we can look for. My take is we are perfectly legal if we have a valid H1 extension, real job and a valid H1 stamping. can the officer still deny the entry ?
Thanks
Rim
