No, they are temporary workers without residence priviledges. A resident alien is someone who is not a citizen but was approved as a permanent resident in the US.

A student visa doesn't give you the right to live here, ever, because it is a non-resident visa and is above quotas for resident visas.\n\nHowever, if you get a job lined up for after graduation, you can apply for a change of status to an H1B visa, but you need a sponsor and need to do the paperwork early enough in the year before the H1B visas for the year are gone.

For H1B visa, you need a job offer from a US employer who is also willing to sponsor your H1B. You can start with contacting the US companies with branches in Japan, or Japanese companies with offices in USA.

The purpose behind the H1B visa is to bring people into the country that have experience and training that is hard to find. If this company is willing to train you and then hire you, they have to first prove that there are no Americans or other permanent residents that can or want to do the job. \n\nThat said, if you are to come just for training, you should come on an M-1 visa for the training, then apply for the H1B visa later.  You can't work on the M1 Visa, but you could come for the training.

Having a legitimate visit to the UK should not affect your application for an H1B.  \nHowever, if you mean to ask if you can apply for the H1B at the US Embassy in the UK -- you'd be better advised to apply in your home country.  It is generally more difficult for applicants of any type of temporary visa to qualify when they apply outside of their own country.  The Embassy official is less familiar with the circumstances and documentation from a different country and would more likely have to deny the application if it is less certain or obvious.

Your question is not very specific.  For example, what country are you asking about?\n\nHere is some basic information about US employment-based immigrant and nonimmigrant visas:\nhttp://www.travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_1323.html\nhttp://www.travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1271.html

These are good answers, although they assume you already have a permanent resident card. Is that your case?

Yes you can but You must have a valid visa to return to the US. If your H1B status is approved by USCIS but your visa in your passport is expired, you must go to the embassy and get a new visa before returning to the US. For H1B cases this is only a procedure, if you have a USCIS approval you won't have any problems getting the visa.\n\nAlso, you can travel to Canada and Mexico and return on your expired visa if your USCIS status is valid. You can also get your visa from any consulate in Canada or Mexico

H1B extensions generally take 2-3 months.\n\nYou can leave the country without the approval, but your employer will need to send it to you in India and then you will need to apply for the visa stamp at the appropriate US Embassy.\n\nGood luck!

In NJ there is a huge problem with technical people coming here legally on H1-B visas and driving down the pay for many people.  There are so many people with technical Masters degrees that are now driving limos and selling furniture because lower paying H1-B visa people have taken their jobs.\nThe Senate bill, which just passed has a huge increase in the number of H1-B visas allowed into this country.  These are all legal jobs that help corporation pay low wages to highly technical people and put middle class Americans out of work.

H1B is really not international nor is covered, it was made by a country. See Ronald Reagan.\n If you plan to travel to another county within the USA, especially another state your Drivers License is not recognized, the reason why transfer of records to the county DMV office is done. Even military ID. The USA does recognize American passports as temporary drivers license, identification across the state of Virginia (JFK), and Southern California (Marilyn M.)\n The traveller needs to call the nearest embassy of destination, including stop overs (one visa per city/state). Passengers staying on board the carriage to the destination, must be guarded (the local tourist attraction again).\nWhat is recognized in Europe is the regular passport from Napoleonic Times, this is the original one reserved for inter-city travel (Holy Catholic Church and Servanti). Back then horse travel was like the plane.
