Re: 401k/retirement planning

Re: How long before commencement of work can I enter the USA on a H1-B?

Yeah, that would make sense to me...I'm just hesitant given how complex and convoluted much of the visa process has been so far! As I mentioned in my first post, my 'valid from' date is from the 20th...
