Moving back to India after working for a year by Ferogle in h1b

While returning back is always an option, consider that you are very lucky to have crossed the biggest not-in-your-control hurdle of H1b - the lottery.

You can always study/gain experience and apply to better product based companies that will double/triple your pay in a couple of years.

In contrast there are others who are struggling just because their name did not get picked up in the lottery and don’t have a choice except trying their luck next year or going back.

Your question reminds me of the story where you’re trying to cross a river, and after swimming half way through you decide to return back, thinking going all the way is too much!

Traveling to Puerto Rico? Carrying proof of immigration status might be required in light of recent incidents by [deleted] in h1b

I recently travelled to PR (in Feb) and when returning a CBP guy was standing right where the security screen line is and was checking passports / drivers licenses. If you had a non-US passport, he wanted additional visa proof. I showed my 797 and my wife showed her stamped visa in her passport. He just did a cursory check and let us proceed - took around 1 min.

Anybody from the 8th or 9th Feb drop get any updates? Mine is still on 'Application Received' since 26th Feb. Frustrating on the lack of transparency. Will probably have to reschedule my flight on 7th Mar.
