How do you handle people’s kids showing up on video meetings? Screaming, kicking, hamming it up, (wasting time.) Everyone else is coo-ing…I’m not a kids person.

Thoughts?

I have an approved I-140 and am now moving cities with the same employer (PwC). I was under the assumption that only a new PERM needs to be filed. Do we also need another I-140? PwC makes us pay $3500 for I-140 premium processing does this mean that fees needs to be repaid?
