Need for clarification

If you are working at the University why can't the University get that visa transfered in US , have you asked .
2. Working as what?

Hi
That is my understanding also. H1 visa has "dual-intent" and the logical consequence would be that one does not have to show strong ties to the home country. However, I have not applied for an H1 myself and maybe someone who has acctually gone through with an H1 application can confirm.

Good luck,
Marcaurel

I am 99% sure about this one:

The requirement to show ties to your home country does NOT apply to H-1B visa applicants. I think an H-1B is considered a "dual intent" visa so it is ok if you son't prove strong ties to your country. The reuirements you mentioned apply mostly to tourists (B) and students (F), and they need to prove to the consular officer that their stay will be temporary - i.e. they have a reason to go back to their home country. Can anyone else confirm this please?

I am currently employed by a university in the USA and received the H1 paper from INS. I want to go abroad and get my visa paper and stamp on my passport. However, Websites of Consulates state the following: U.S. immigration law requires that all applicants for nonimmigrant visas demonstrate that they have social, familial, work, or other compelling circumstances that will obligate them to return to their home countries after a temporary visit in the United States. Examples of compelling ties include employment, home or business ownership, continued university enrollment, and close family ties. Commonly submitted documentation includes salary statements, job letters from employers, bank statements, insurance papers showing when work at a company was started, property deeds, and tax returns showing earned income and tax paid. Due to filing and storage limitations, documents in support of an application should NOT be mailed or faxed to us. All relevant documentation, including invitation letters, should be submitted at the time of application."

Does this apply me, since I have been studying and later working in the USA. How can I get those documents and my parents are permanent residents in the US.

Tnank you for an answer
