Is it risky to go home to the Philippines?

Question

I entered the US with tourist visa but eventually found a job. I am legally working with an H1B but without the stamp. I plan to go home and get the stamp but they say it is risky as the US Consulate can deny the visa, which would jeopardize everything. Has anyone done this before? Is is really risky? I am a bundle of documents to show the Consulate.

Answer 1

Can an H-1B alien travel outside the U.S.?

Yes. An H-1B visa allows an alien holding that status to reenter the U.S. during the validity period of the visa and approved petition.

is your visa not applied to your passport?

do you have the H-1 B visa proof ?

you may leave the US, and re-enter the US as long as you have all the necessary documents

why not get the stamp before going?

Answer 2

oy pare! YOU are in the U.S. illegally! If you get busted (Hopefully, someone will turn your mabaho pwet into INS)

you will be deported and labeled  persona non grata!

So catch the first PAL jetliner to manila!

Answer 3

If you are legally working in the US in H1b status based on an approved petition, you shouldn't have a problem. Of course, if that's all true, you should have paperwork from DHS proving that, like an I-765 Notice of Action form. The embassy won't deny the visa unless there's a good reason to. And there isn't based  on what you've said here.
