If my H1B employer is in California, can my port of entry be in New York?

Answer

Yes, but the connecting travel should be consistent with your stated purpose for coming to the U.S. If the purpose is to work in California, then there should be a connecting flight (or other travel plans) to get from NY to California. (15.Dec.2014)
