I am in India and my H1B petition was approved, but I have not yet been able to get my visa stamp. Can I start working for the U.S. employer while I am still in India?

Answer

Even without an H1B approval, if a person is not physically in the United States, U.S. immigration law would not normally prevent that person from performing work for  a U.S. company.  (12.Nov.2020)
