Anyone for whom the H1B end date changed after the H1B amendment post the LCA approval ? Heard it’s rare but does happen!

My lawyers said it was because of the project end date.

In my case, it’s just a small project of 3 months. In that case; every small project might change this date !

++ I just filed for Amend and extend both. Lawyers said might be some risk involved. Fingers crossed *

Good luck to you. In my case, not an extension case. Just a normal LCA which I guess every consultant will have to go through considering clients will change.

Yes it did for me. Was reduced by 8 months!

What determines that ? Is it because of the project end date or just random ?

The whole situation makes me wonder how is the consulting sustainable for people on h1 😏

True.

Looking for insight on business immigration firms in LA. I worked as a judicial clerk/staff attorney at the immigration court and occasionally handles decisions involving employment-based immigration, non immigrant visas, and waivers.

I came into a hedge fund job as an analyst in February of this year and didn’t negotiate my bonus at the outset. I was coming from tech and needed a green card so didn’t have much room to do so.

With bonus season coming up, I have a feeling my PM is going to underpay me. Should I bring up the subject myself? Also, how do I get a sense of what I’m worth? I did not trade but was the main data guy and built a tool that is indispensable for our process. Is 10% of his cut of PnL reasonable?

Hi Everyone,

Need some inputs before making an important decision.
I have offer from Cognizant and they are promising that next quarter they will initiate my Canada visa. They are giving assurance when I spoke to them over call. Also, my current employer Accenture is also saying the same to retain me. Can I believe Cognizant? Also, Canada onsite is best in which company - Accenture or Cognizant. Please suggest based on your experience.

Thanks in advance!
