Anyone get approved for the H1B yet this year?

How do you answer the question about yourself in i-944 where you can indicate "self" and it asks you if you live with said individual "self", and if this individual is filing for an immigration benefit with you or has in the past (again it's weird because you're talking about yourself.. ).

Hey, I am planning to visit India for H1B Visa stamp. I am yet to pay fee for booking the Interview slot.
Anyone who is able to see the slots available can you please share of dates are available in early May for any consulates in India?

Thanks in advance!

Coming to the US after summer as I got my visa approved. However im seeing a lot of people commenting they got laid off. Is it risky for me to change countries right now and get a job I might lose in 3-4 months? Or it's not that bad overall?

Anyone has idea about any reliable consultancies to file fresh H1B from India?

Is it difficult to move without a reference. I got all the skills needed in current job market. But looks like getting a job call itself is difficult.
Or is it because of My H1B visa status.

My wife and I are moving to Boston from overseas (we’re from Italy and we’ve recently won the diversity visa green card lottery).

We are looking to rent a 1BR starting in January, ideally for ~$3k/month. I’ll be working in the downtown area.

Do you recommend we go for a serviced/luxury apartment (e.g. Montaje, 345 Harrison, etc.) or hire a broker to get a “normal” apartment?

Any managed buildings recommendations within our budget? Also, what are some good brokers we could work with?

Thanks!

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?

How does your company manage (track) all of the documents related to a merger you are working on? Are you using a matter management software, a spreadsheet, shared file, etc? Keeping up with the moving pieces is killing me with just a spreadsheet.

I am still amazed by the MeToo movement. So much change and progress were made all because victims spoke up. I am happy that our country stood by what’s right.

There is a thread on the main bowl about which level is the hardest and the consensus seems to be director level is the most difficult one. Are some of the things said there true of IFS directors too?

I am so tired of being treated like an assistant and I’m at a loss on how to correct it. My coworkers are generally nice, but while I watch white (usually male) associates at my level or even more junior get substantive work, I’m still receiving administrative tasks as a mid-level. Appreciate any advice.

Is there anyone who works for Google or Amazon and has a healthcare background with no tech skills? I have my MBA with a healthcare concentration and I’m looking to switch industries.

Moved to the city about 6 months ago and I’ve been disappointed in my experience. I know the pandemic is playing a factor but I didn’t expect the winter days as gloomy as they’ve been. For those who have lived here for a while, is this normally what the winters are like? What do you do to keep things interesting when you can’t go outside? Last two months have made me consider moving but part of me feels like I won’t have given the city a fair shot

I’m an analyst & have been working towards associate – I was recently offered an associate role on a different team, but simultaneously am feeling burned out and thinking of leaving the firm within the next 6-8 months to work at a smaller company. I want to accept the associate role for my own professional development and growth. Tips on leaving a role after 6 months without burning bridges? Is that possible? I feel somewhat guilty about leaving my team, but know I have to prioritize my career

Can anyone explain the Chubb underwriting associate training? Is it in person or hybrid? Interview process? Looking to make a transition from education.

Without warning it looks like we'll be switching from consultant teaching to inclusion...what do I need to know. Never co-taught or done inclusion except for years and years ago and it was very informal. Best ways to build a solid relationship with the classroom teacher you're paired with? Pitfalls to watch out for? Thanks!

My h-1b was valid until Jan 2021, but the when I filed for amendment it was truncated to March 2020. Filed for extension which got denied. Firm is saying I can either work or go on LOA. Any ideas?

Can I file for EAD renewal more than 180 days in advance?
USCIS say we “generally speaking shouldn’t file for it with more than 180 days in advance” – but I’m asking if there’s any harm in doing so. I don’t want my 2019 EAD nightmare to happen again.

Anyone applied for an L1b extension recently? Wanted to know success rates

Most likely Toronto, Canada. Anyone else thinking CAN?

Spouse on L2 EAD with renewal coming up in November 2020. Although ~7 months out concerned it may not be renewed. Any one else on the same boat? What advice have you received?

Is it common for a form to not let you see the RFE they are filing on your behalf?

Anyone here has had a recent experience getting an H1B interview at the Embassy in Costa Rica? How long did it take to get the passport back? Anything else I should know? Thank you!
