Hello,
1. I was told that you should wait 60 days before you apply for an H1B if you arrived in the US on a B1/B2 tourist visa and want to change status? So that it will not be interpreted as you came as a tourist in order to look for a job?
Is this true?
2. That be the case, can you arrive in the US on a B1/B2, stay for 20 days and get an employer to hire you, then fly back to your home country and submit the petition a few days after you arrive so that you are no longer in the US when the petition is filed?
Will that also be viewed as wrongful intent and therefore risk losing a 10year B1/B2 visa once I have to renew?
Appreciate any comments,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
