Any other consulting firms sent memos to their employees about new H1B guidelines? Essentially no more alt travel for H1B holders and at least one day a week in the home office?!? :-0

To be clear it sucks, but the no-alt interpretation is a bit overblown. I’m and PL and happy to give my H1bers a Monday in office so they can alt the next weekend. That means 50% alt weekends is still possible. The secondment thing seems harder to solve, as I doubt secondee employers want the hassle. And no WFH Friday also sucks

Based on posts on FB, other firms have flat out said “no onsite work.” From what I’ve seen (limited convenience sample), we’re taking a more liberal approach. Happy to be corrected if that’s not the general interpretation. Sucks because it hurts our people and our firm

That’s great you’d do it but I assume many PLs won’t be able to allow that if important client stuff happens on Mondays !

Why? What the heck! Nothing like trying to create an unwelcoming environment

Don’t know the details but more government scrutiny for visa processing if you work “off site” so the guideline is to mitigate that apparently

Ok that’s interesting... still sucks though.

No I heard the opposite. That other firms haven’t sent any guidelines at all and we are taking the stringent approach

EY has been pushing on this for a while now, guess other firms are just playing catch up.

Has EY actually implemented it??

Yes EY made it clear and H1bers need to file amendments and all the STEMers are strictly prohibited from working on client sites going forward.

I have a client (employer) that wishes to hire a worker that is currently in an H2B visa. Two questions: 1. Do I use the same 9142B to apply for the change of employer, and 2) because it is a change and extension (he is on year 2) it won’t count against the quota?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
