Hi guys, I am a research scientist in Germany and I got recently an offer from a US company. I am a non-EU passport holder then my visa is tied to my job here, so if I quit the German company I have to leave Germany.
The american lawyer’s company has started my O1 visa process but it takes time, according to him 3-5 months.
I have no experience in this regard, so my doubt is,
should I quit my German job and go to my home country and work homeoffice for US while the visa comes through as they offered? or only start when the visa is ready?
I am alfraid of my visa getting rejected, although they said that there are other visa options like H1B, J1.
I am also afraid of quitting Germany and the US visa does not work (I have already visited US twice with B1, not sure if it matters) or the company gives up on me and i lost both jobs.
TC europe : 80k
TC US offer: 230k

Which country are you from? The only advantage I can think of is maybe if the US embassy in your home country is less busy, so it can process your case faster.
Do you have to stay at your job for a certain time after giving notice?
Yours is o1, a different storyt still...
