Hi, My h1 max out is early Jun 2019 and Perm might get filed in May 2019. Plan is to step out by May 2019 and wfh or at vendor location ( note I work for US company and don’t have work location in India )till my perm/i140 approved and h1 extension get approved based on i140. Is there any tax implications in getting paid in $ while am in India and also any issues while we file my i140 or h1 visa stamping when I return to US. Any other things to consider in this situation.
How is your employer going to pay you in US dollars if your Visa expires in June? Just leaving the country doesn't mean they can keep you on US payroll forever, does it. I thought that in order to be on US payroll (doesn't matter where you are located physically), you need to have US work authorization? I don't know much about immigration, though.
I don’t think so as I read in other forums
I'm wrong. You're right. Learn something new everyday I guess. Good luck with your visas.
If you stay for more than half a financial year in India, you have to pay tax in India on your total income including USD income.
Ok thanks , hope my stay be within 6 months. But no other issues in getting paid in $ and while I go for stamping based on my status visa officer doesn’t worry about me getting paid in $ while am in India
I thought Perm itself takes about 4-6 months to get approved? Then you can file 140 in premium. Then you need h1. I wonder if it will in total be within 6 months.
