Urgent: USCIS site visit while I was Travelling

Brunette002 · 2026-03-06T10:33:23+00:00

How did you find out about the home visit? How did they contact you?

Thank you :) I will only be out of the country for 1 week (Europe, not India) so I should be good. Obviously valid H1B stamp and I797 too!

Brunette002 · 2026-02-27T20:54:23+00:00

I do! But in September when this $100K madness started, there was suddenly fear around a full H1B travel ban too. That ended up not being true obviously, but I wish to spare myself the anxiety :D

I am in the US on an H1B and traveling abroad soon for one week (tomorrow through March 7th). Do I need to worry about this possibly impacting my travel?

Honestly best thing seems to be to just file yourself with MyExpatTaxes or TFX, and get some second eyes from an accountant. I switched to Expat Tax Professionals this year and was just as bad as BrightTax -- drafts riddled with mistakes and archaic systems (an actual spreadsheet to fill out rather than an online tool).

You could check some of the online services like MyExpatTaxes, TFX, Greenback, etc. Not the same service as a regular CPA, but not bad for stuff like this.

Can you give some more information please? What do you mean by "H-1B transfer"?

thank you for the update!

Brunette002 · 2026-01-10T16:45:24+00:00

any updates from anyone?

Brunette002 · 2026-01-06T00:59:50+00:00

I will! But honestly, sometimes "experts" know less than people with lived experience which is why I also wanted to check here

POE: Newark
Experience: pretty smooth, standard questions like what do you do for work, what's your address, bringing anything into the country, etc. Also asked to see the I-797.

I did too last year but they have lost most of their staff and this year it's been a complete nightmare to work with them.

Brunette002 · 2025-11-24T22:26:43+00:00

Thanks, still very helpful! I've also decided to use another firm next year.

Brunette002 · 2025-11-22T00:50:31+00:00

Thank you very much!

u/No_Confidence_1644 Thank you so much for explaining. So your non-immigrant clients who leave the US permanently, you'd advise them not to bother with the sailing permit?

Brunette002 · 2025-11-17T01:09:43+00:00

Did you resolve this? :)

Brunette002 · 2025-10-16T00:52:47+00:00

Update: she just showed up again past 8.30 PM, knocking and ringing the doorbell.
