For all those who got approved from wfh permanently and are on work visa L1 and H1 visas, did you lose comp at all with going remote? Requesting inputs on how will an employee be paid if choosing remote.

Any thoughts if going hybrid, will impact comp in any way?

Just trying to assess how other companies are doing it.

    the company won’t mandate it.. but it’s a no no from uscis perspective.. else if the job can be done remotely they don’t need you here on US soil..

      Agreed. So visa holders in twitter cannot opt for remote even if the company allows, given that logic?

      Personally i enjoy wfh and wouldn't want to go to office, given a choice. 😛

      yeah.. see USCIS can always come for surprise checks and if they find you are working from home that will become an issue

    i don’t think you can work from home permanently on visa.. this is temporary considering the covid situation..

      You can - as long as the home address is mentioned as one of the work sites in H1 petition. I have colleagues who are on H1 and are permanently remote.

    You can work remotely as long as your petition approved on your home address

      Does our homes have to be in a certain mile radius from office even if we're in the same state? Would you know anything about it?

      No. As long as the home address is mentioned in the H1 petition, you can be anywhere in US. My HQ is in Nashville, we have H1 employees in NY, TX and FL.
