Indian laborers are stuck amid the H-1B visa scenario, which is becoming increasingly unpredictable.  Even working remotely after a visa expires is debatable due to Trump's administration's tighter regulations. A recent online instance involving an H-1B worker whose visa was expiring while their Green Card application was still pending brought this misconception to light.  It all started when they heard two distinct tales.
 
According to their lawyer, they might continue to get US compensation while working remotely from South Korea.  The company's legal staff, however, disagreed, arguing that no employer is permitted to work remotely once the visa expires.
 
Nor was this referred to as an internal policy.  According to the anonymous US corporation, the limitation is mandated by law.
 
The employee became frustrated and looked for evidence to refute their employer's claim that H-1B status is only important within the United States.  Once overseas, it becomes a business policy and tax problem rather than an immigration one.
 
People who responded to the social media post said the employee should look into legal alternatives since the firm will take a lawyer's advice more seriously.
 
This episode reflects the existing chaotic state of the H-1B system.  Trump's new policies and recent regulation changes are aimed at making more undocumented workers anxious and unsure of what is lawful.

It's becoming increasingly difficult for indian professionals, who comprise a sizable share of the US workforce, to remain in the US on an H-1B.  Both employers and employees need to be cautious when navigating this changing environment.
