Hi Guys,
A friend of mine who is in India is currently in the process of getting a new employment offer from a US Company who has also agreed to apply for his H1B via premium processing (either tomorrow or Monday).
Obviously, he still needs to get the H1B approved by INS and then go to the local US Consulate to get a VISA stamp which together might take a month or so. So we are wondering what should the start date be on his employment offer letter. The reason we are concerned is cos we are wondering if there are any Immigration laws that require that a candidate enters the US within a certain timeframe (#of months) from the start date mentioned in the offer letter?
Thanks for your help in advance.
