Hello everyone,

I'm a lateral hire and have been posted to Chennai. I've got my onboarding pass with my DoJ being this Monday (16th June) . Couple of questions -

  1. When can I expect CTS to send the link for the session ? My recruiter has confirmed that the initial onboarding is virtual.
  2. Is there an induction program for lateral hires after the virtual onboarding ? How long does it take, and can it be done virtually ? The reason I ask this is because I'm yet to relocate to Chennai so I wanted to know if all the activities in the first week can be completed virtually.

Hello everyone. I'm from Mumbai and have recently accepted a job at AMTZ. I was wondering if any of you could suggest the names of any accommodations near the AMTZ campus. I intend to move there in 2 weeks. My budget is around 15 - 20k. Any leads would be appreciated. Thank you !

I'm currently working remotely as an unpaid RA (20 hrs/week) and due to personal reasons, my stay outside the US might last for approx 4 months (till May). My Professor is ok with me continuing to work from home.

I am a little unclear about the USCIS rules for working remotely, and would like some clarity :

  1. What's the maximum number of months I can spend outside the US ?

  2. I have a valid F1 visa, I-20 and offer letter. Am I missing something or are these enough ? What do CBP officers usually ask at the port of entry ?

  3. Will working an unpaid job pose any risk while re-entering the US ?

Is there anyone here who has worked remotely outside the US for over a month ?

I am working as an unpaid RA under a Professor and the way things are going, my stay here in India might last for approx. 4 months (till May). I haven't informed my Professor of my plans for extending my stay yet, but I'm pretty confident she will approve it since our work is completely remote.

Can y'all share your experiences while re-entering the US ? Also - will working an unpaid job pose any risks during immigration ?
