A friend is on his 60 day H1-B grace period in USA. He is searching for employment. Meanwhile, he is planning to enroll for MBA to change his status to F1 to continue maintaining his lawful presence after grace period. Can someone help understand what happens in the following cases? He gets admitted(Oct start or January school start) and gets I-20 and sends application to USCIS for change of status from H1B to F1 during his final 30 days of grace period. Continued in comments…..

I’ve seen for individual: match trad 401k->match roth 401k->max roth IRA->max trad IRA->max trad 401k->max roth 401k->max HSA
For self employed: max SEP IRA/solo 401k->max roth IRA->max trad IRA->max HSA

Hello,

The immigration firm(for the new company I’ve accepted offer from) reached out with a link to put in my details for H1 transfer. They specifically mentioned that they won’t support dependent immigration.
My wife is on H4, how do I go about her immigration requirements? Does she need a transfer or amendment on current visa once I get my visa transferred?
Thank you

Anyone here from IQVIA that have had their green card sponsored here? What was your timeline like?

Hi Everyone - Need some insights. My PERM process was started by company in Feb’22 (currently awaiting wage determination, submitted to DOL in May’22). Its been months and DOL is working on requests from Jan’22. My H1B expires for good in Oct’23 (with all the recapture). Is there any chance I’ll have my PERM completed by then? For those of you who have been through this process, what was the overall timeline like?. Appreciate any insights you can help provide! TY!

Long does it take to switch from L1B to L1A visa? (Promoted to Manager). Nothing done yet. Any experiences?

Anybody with a priority date of mid-late 2015 that is considering switching jobs? I have an offer that I was about to sign, but saw that priority dates for filing in EB2 are already at sep 2014 this April. That makes me wonder if i could either miss my window or worse if the date becomes current while my new employer is still doing PERM. Anyone else faced this situation in the past or looked at it more deeply? Recommendations for good lawyers for advice also appreciated.
