Dover, NH asked in Immigration Law for New Hampshire

Q: Can we travel to the US on a tourist visa before we begin work on an H1-B visa?

We are UK citizens and due to come to the states in March of 2020 on a work visa with my company. Can my wife and kids move to the states in September for schooling and then be joined by me when my transfer is complete in March?

A: Under those circumstances, they would not be let in, since tourism is not their reason for entering.
