Can I appear for VISA interview without leaving current job?

Question

I've received H-1B paper & job offer (starting from 1-Oct) from US employer. I've to sign on job offer. I want to appear for interview after 1st Oct. Do I need to quit my current job at foreign location before appearing for VISA interview?

Answer 1

Of course not; why would you want to, or the US require, that you quit your job for a chance at a visa. I mean, there is no guarantee that you will get the visa.

Answer 2

No, the US has no requirement that you quit your present employer before you apply for the H1B visa.
