Hi,
I am an Indian national and am employed with a US based firm and am holding an H1b visa status which is expiring on September 23rd 2004. My company sent me on a temporary project to India in December 2003 and this project will go till Feb 2005. So I expect to be in India till Jan/Feb 2005. I contacted my HR department for the H1B renewal and they suggested me to file the visa now through Consular process with the starting date in January 2005. They advised me that if I do so then I'll have full 6 yrs (will gain 3 more years) again to work on H1B visa. This is because I'll be out of US for more than 1 year by January 2005.
I am interested in this option. Also, I am being paid salary in USD during this term. My question is CAN U.S. COMPANIY CONTINUE TO PAY ME AS LONG AS I AM EMPLOYED BY MY US COMPANY OUTSIDE OF THE U.S EVEN THOUGH MY H1 b VISA EXPIRES ON SEPT 2004? What will be the tax implications on my salary after September 2004 when my visa expires?
Please reply at the earliest..
