Anyone here switched jobs after I-485 approval (and before getting your green card)? What was your experience?

Worked super hard in the US for 11 years, finally was about to get green card, I got laid off. What has my life become? I can’t feel more like a failure. If I can’t find a job that sponsors work visa for me in 3 months, the past decade would be the proof of my yet another horrible investment. Damn, universe, what are you trying to teach me?! Stop chasing unrealistic goal that’s outside of our control?

Pointers for a good immigration lawyer. I want schedule sometime for questions related to 60 days grace period and other options. P.S - I lost my job and I am on H1b

Does anyone knows if Deloitte can file H1B before the starting date? I got hired around October 2021 and official starting date might around summer/fall 2022. I am a F1 student who holds OPT for one year, period from Feb 18, 2022 to Feb 18,2023. So it seems I just got one chance for H1B lottery, which is March 2022. Before I reach out to HR, just wanna know if anyone has similar situation!

Recently got my H1B approval mail from the companies law firm. What is the time frame to go to my home country and get the passport stamped ?

Is it legally possible to switch job when the first time H1b approval is still pending? Previously on F-1 OPT visa. Kindly suggest.

Does anyone know how much does it cost to a company who is doing H1B transfer for a candidate? Also, how much do they have to pay for the Green Card process?

Hi Fishes, Is it possible to process h1b as cap exempt if I had worked on USA in h1b status for few months and if the visa is expired now, once I join a new employer.

@ those who have gotten their H1 stamped - Can we use the auto generated employment verification letter from ToD for H1B stamping Interview? Or do we have to get a separate letter signed by a Manager?

How many of you in this country in employment based green card backlog ? How many of you know about s386 and how many of you are doing anything about it ? Just cribbing won’t get anyone anywhere- let’s see how many act and how many are just agnostic ?

Any website recommendation that will give visa sponsorship in UK

I see many posts from people with H1B issues moving to Canada but not to Europe. Why is that? Isn't the lifestyle much better in Europe? How easy is it to get PR? Anyone from Deloitte who moved to EU?

Firm wants to apply for my Green Card and I am currently on STEM OPT, which is going to be ending ~1 months after the GC application. No other visa at the moment. Does it even make sense to apply for the GC now?

Is there a way of bypassing the H1B lottery? I was told by an external recruiter that if I joined their London team, after a year I could go through H1B process without the lottery. My preference is to remain with Deloitte and transfer - can Deloitte put me through without the lottery? Are there stipulations such as minimum tenure or degree types etc?
