Working From Home For The H1B Sponsoring Company
Anonymous8 views4 answers
I joined an US based company on Oct, 2014 and started working form home remotely as they don’t have any office in India. They sponsored my H1b and my I-129 approved on 29 Sep 2015. Now I am planning for the visa interview in the US consulate.
Now if the VO ask me where is your office in India? I have to say My home. Currently in India I can’t be an employee for them as they don’t have any office here. I am currently working for them like a consultant/freelancer/contractor(whatever you say). My employer pay my salary through Paypal every month. I am afraid after hearing this the VO can reject my VISA.
Please help me. What I exactly need to say if VO ask me about my current employment.

Relax. You are currently "self-employed" as a "Consultant", which is the truth and that's all you need to list on your DS-160 and report during your visa interview. Nothing else.
It is fine that you have been working for your US employer from home. That is a good thing. For the H1B visa you should know the business of the company and your US employment.
