Yeah you can't just jet off whenever you like if you have a work visa. You need to get permission from the Immigration department first.
People often find this out when they do a quick trip over the border to Canada or Mexico.
I googled this,
“Generally, *holding a US work visa does not require special permission to leave and re-enter the country, as long as your visa and the period of stay authorized by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) are valid“
So if you have a valid source for that I would be interested to see it. I won't lie though even if you can produce anything it wont make me think of the US as anything but a shithole because that's a shitty thing to have anyway.
I have to wonder if you wiped after you pulled this completely incorrect factoid out of your ass. Cut it out.
Tell me you’ve never even been friends with an immigrant without telling me
What in the hell are you talking about
