The situation in brief :
-
Work as a Consultant (EVC model)
-
Have H1B visa valid for another 2 years until it comes up for extension
-
Project ended around a month back and have since been looking for fulltime and contract roles.
-
Meanwhile a medical situation back home (India), and I need to travel within a week.
-
Anticipating atleast around 4 months stay until things stabilize, but planning to come back for sure.
-
This would be the first time I would be travelling to India after getting H1B, so stamping is required.
-
As project ended, no Client Letter
-
Employer says current paystubs (payroll is being run) and their letter would suffice for getting the stamping done.
-
My question is, should I risk going for stamping - What are the implications of trying to get the stamping done to re-enter US without a project? Would there be any future issues?
OR Should I get things settled, and then (may be in 4 months) start looking for some consulting firm from India who can find a project for me in the US and do the transfer. Is a Client letter not required in this case when I go for stamping?
How difficult is it to find the right consulting firm for this situation and how difficult is it for them to find a project for me and get me to travel?
Your suggestions would be really very helpful.
Thanks,
Abhi
