Hi everyone,
I have accepted an offer from another company. I plan to travel to my home country before joining the new company to take advantage of the PTO in my current company.
The new company has virtual onboarding. Can i join the new company from my home country after a visa transfer through virtual onboarding ?
Has anyone done this ? Do I need to travel back to the US to join the new company ?
I have a valid visa stamp and I-94.

However please note that there are some travel restrictions for H1B holders.
You should discuss with your new employer if you can work from India for an extended period of time. Some companies (like Amazon) does not allow you to work for more than 15 days from outside USA.
Good luck.
This is assuming the consulate in your home country is open and has appointments available.
