Is the concern around getting an RFE? Are you doing EOS or consular processing,

Extension after RFE approval rate for L visas are 65%. Def not impossible.

Well why not try consular processing? I know during the earlier regime things were tough and the chances of denial was high..we were advised to go for consular processing,if that’s an option I suggest you go for it..

Consulates keep canceling appointments…

They want me to just wait and keep trying with consulates abroad…but time is running out and I’m tempted to try the uscis premium processing

I did, but got an RFE.

L-1A or L-1B? Functional manager or people manager if L-1A?

L1-A, I’m an engagement manager so I guess people manager?

Do you have direct reports now and did abroad too?

I got reclassed from L1b to L1a through USCIS this year. No RFE. It took them 3 months.

Hello,
I booked a h1b visa appointment for Sept 2022 by filling out ds160 with my current employer.
If I change my employer now and they transfer my H1B, is my original visa appointment still valid ? ls there a way I can update DS160 with the new petitioner and use the same visa appointment ? Or do I have to cancel and book a new visa appointment with new employer information in a new DS160 ?
Please let me know soon. Thanks

Hey all - couple question for anyone working at PwC who has been successful in filing their green card under the EB1-C category. How long did you have to wait to get the process started and did you need to get any approvals? I am currently on an L-1A visa and was told by the immigration team that they wouldn’t start the process until I have been with the US firm for 12 months and typically they would start the process 3.5 years prior to the max visa date. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi! First time working with a larger company - suggestions on handling pronouns at work?

I’ve worked with smaller agencies where it was easier to bring up. Now I’m on a larger team, talking to/referencing people I’ve never met. I’m less concerned about my own pronouns and more concerned about how to make sure I’m using the correct pronouns for the people I work with.

I’ve been structuring sentences to avoid gender specific pronouns but would love to hear suggestions. Thanks!
