Are we still seeing h1b transfer rejects with big4, FANG or other large consulting firms? Considering a switch.

Is one Big 4 better than the others for non Americans, culture, colleagues visa etc etc

I filed my STEM OPT report late this year due to delays from the legal team and my intl advisor encouraged me to retain proofs in case I get in trouble filing for h1b or green card in the future. Is it appropriate to just screenshot the work emails + dates and send it to myself? What’s an ethical way of doing this?

As per h1b visa policy, I understand that we need to file an amendment everytime I need to perform work from clients location. But do we need to file an amendment if we are performing work from different state, city for few days when you are visiting friends? Have you got engagement managers approval in this cases? Also, do you then submit your timesheet from different location if you do or do not get the approval?

I am starting with PwC in the fall 2020 and just recent graduated as well, Jan 2020. Would I be able to enter the H1B lottery this April if I reach out to PwC?

Has anyone gone through the Green Card processing with PwC? The firm requires us to pay back the application fee (which from my understanding could be upto $10,000) if one resigns within two years...

I have worked hard for my American green card, and by god, I am grateful for it. 🙏🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒

Hi- I was curious to know if receiving 221(g) on approved H1B change of status applications is common. I’m previously an F1 and switched over to H1B recently. I have my appointment upcoming and was curious about the commonality of the occurrence.

Any one in this forum received a cancellation mail for B1/B2 visa appointments for late Jan/Feb 2022. Not sure what to expect, but the appointment is still active on the portal after 3 days receiving the mail. The mail seemed pretty generic but not sure whether the consulate will honor the appointment.

Is green card wait times based on country of birth or citizenship? Sorry I’m a noob.

If it ever comes to that, would you give up your Indian citizenship to become a US citizen? Or would you just stop at the Green Card?

For people living in the US - do you invest in property in India - if yes, then how do arrange for loans in India or US? Also if I am on H1B can I get a loan in India?

I received my H-1B visa and will be traveling to U.S. for my first time in January 2022. Employer is asking for I-94 (given during entry) and SSN (need to apply when I arrive) before my moving date. Has anyone else encountered this problem and is there a workaround?

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.

I know this topic does not get talked about much but will eventually impact almost all of us so here goes. I am thinking of retiring (early) and would love recommendations for countries that I can retire to that. Primary factors would be cost if living, safety, warm climate, good health care system, (preferably) close to the US - not a requirement, stable government and laws, diversity in landscape (beach, rivers, mountains). Definitely not super rich so thinking of 5k a month in expenses.

Is it okay to ask to work remote occasionally ? (I’m talking once every couple months on a year long project).

Anyone made the jump from agency to freelance PM and can live to tell about it? I want the highs and the lows. I’ve been seriously considering it more and more, but need to know the truth about what to expect. More than anything, I want to be remote and be able to make my own schedule. Any pointers on how to get started? I’d love to do a budget exercise as well, to see how to make it all work—but I know it’s very unpredictable. Any tips/tricks are appreciated!
