Hello,

What an informative and successful forum! I'm so happy to have found this! Unfortunately I have a question for which I can't seem to track down an answer. Hopefully someone here can help me.

I work in the US for a company in Saudi, our Saudi office contracted with an Australian resident to come to the US and work on some projects for us. She is here in the US on a B-1 visa which is still valid. Her contract has now been terminated.

My question is this: what is the responsiblity of the employer at this point? Do we need to notify anyone of the termination of the contractor? I assume no, as the B-1 is a self sponsored visa, but I need to confirm this, as we provided a great deal of documentation to support the issuance of the visa.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

B1 visa does not provide authorization to work; your employee might be in violation of US immigration laws.
 
Thank you for your input; however, I assure you that we are fully within the boundaries of the law. Her responsiblities have been limited to negotiations, sales and investment solicitations, meetings, hiring, and researching. All of her activities are allowed under the guidelines of a B-1 Business Visitor Visa. She was paid by a Saudi Arabian entity (not a US employer), she has not played any professional sports, and she is not otherwise employed!

Just to be clear, she is NOT employed by a US company, but by a Saudi Arabian company. She is just visiting the US on behalf of the Saudi Arabian company. Her employment with the Saudi Arabian company has been terminated and she is now leaving the country.
