One friend got married to a green card holder 3 years ago. Got her paperwork started right away. Took her 1.5 yrs to finally get a work permit. She got a job in the US about 6-7 months ago. Another one took about 4 yeArs to finally go to the states. Pandemic derailed her move by a couple years. She just moved to the states a couple weeks ago

Does this stuff still happen? Genuinely asking

Agree, and good point!

I just applied for my wife. My understanding is that it takes 2 years but I haven’t gone thru all the steps yet so have a limited understanding. Typically it’s like $2k for Uscis fees and another $2.5k for lawyer fees which includes paperwork for AP / EAD card

Have a lawyer

I got my marriage based green card within 4 months of our marriage. Initially it was valid for two years and then for 10.

We used a lawyer as my husband proposed while I was on vacation in USA and we thought it could get a bit complicated as I was on a B1 visa.

I’m guessing your husband is a citizen and not a green card holder?

Hello fishes !
About to be offered a position at Deloitte London as SC. Exp : ~9.
Visa sponsorship is needed. I foresee a possible negotiation on compensation from Deloitte.

Not sure of the estimate yet but I understand it would be 55-60k as per other fishes . Should I settle for a lower comp while employer pays one time sponsorship & migration costs or bear the migration costs self and chase a good salary . Which is better ?

Note : moving to UK with spouse and kid

Can anyone ping me if you relocated recently with visa sponsorship.

Hello everyone!
I recently found out that I was being paid less than everyone in the team (more than 25% gap to more expe teammates, around 15% less than new hires)
We all had the same responsibilities, I consider I even had a heavier workload (talking in past tense since I very recently made an internal move).
Things to consider:
On a work visa
Non-white
Non-male
What would you recommend doing?
Keeping it to myself?
Speaking up? How? With who?

-TIA
