Can an H1B visa holder make investments in the united states?
Question:
Answer:
There are no restrictions as to the types of investments you can make while you have an H1B visa (home, stocks, or otherwise). The only thing you need to consider is the domestic and international tax consequences of your holdings at the end of each year.
Yes, but you need to have been here for two years, have a job and it needs to be apparent that you are planning to stay.
Most definitely. The restrictions starts to kickin after you move out of the country, and it does not mean taking away all your hard eared dollars. I am a former H1B visa holder. When I was in US, I could invest just like everybody else, in fact no one ever asked about my foreign worker status. When I wanted to move out of US after almost 10 years of stay, financial people asked me "hah? you are not US citizen yet? I thought it is like a common law marriage type of thing that you are a US citizen if you stay that long...". But any way, after I moved out of US, started receiving different forms to fill. That is when I can tell there is a difference.
Yes, please we enjoy taking foreign money here too. Please invest all you want!
