Aug 24, 2016 at 22:46 comment added happybuddha @DavidRicherby The question really is about a visa application (read the second half, where the question is being asked) - going by this and your logic behind voting (credit - you were at least decent enough to leave a comment about it) we should put on hold all questions on this site which talk about getting a visa (which is a requirement for most countries by most people, to travel) and probably get rid of the visa tag.
Aug 24, 2016 at 20:33 comment added David Richerby @happybuddha If the question isn't about you, you shouldn't have written it in the first person. The first person means "I'm talking about myself, here." But, this is irrelevant to whether or not the question is on-topic: it could be your long-term work visa, my long-term work visa or the Queen of Sheba's long-term work visa. It's still a question about a long-term work visa.

Aug 24, 2016 at 10:48 comment added happybuddha I did not have the visa. If thats what you interpret, I don't think any amount of 'to and fro comments will help. I have opened a meta question about it meta.travel.stackexchange.com/questions/3851/… FWIW, H1-B is a dual intent visa not necessarily a long-term working visa.
Aug 24, 2016 at 10:36 comment added David Richerby @happybuddha You had a visa allowing you stay long-term in the USA for working, as long as you had a job. You were asking about specific conditions of that visa (the effect of unforeseen circumstances delaying your departure after you lost that job). Could you explain why the question isn't about long-term stay for working? It seems so clear-cut to me that I can't even imagine another interpretation.
Aug 24, 2016 at 10:28 comment added happybuddha @DavidRicherby This question is not about long term stay for working.

Not suitable for this site
Aug 24, 2016 at 6:46 comment added David Richerby @happybuddha Because the rules might be different for different classes of visa, and this specific question is about long-term stays for working, not about travel within the scope that we cover here.

Jan 30, 2014 at 16:39 comment added Karlson @tohecz Passport control in the US is done by the at the airline check-in counter.
Jan 30, 2014 at 10:42 comment added Relaxed @tohecz There is generally no such thing in US airports.
Jan 29, 2014 at 10:48 comment added yo' Just an idea (maybe stupid), can't you just cross the passport control and stend the time in the "international" part of the airport, hence not so much being in the US?
Jan 29, 2014 at 2:18 comment added happybuddha How can a question seeking answers about delayed travel affecting the visa status be off topic ? Close voters, care to explain ?

Jan 28, 2014 at 19:07 comment added Relaxed There is some potentially interesting information about that in Wikipedia. Apparently, it would depend on whether you were laid off or not.
