No, H1B is tied to location and employer, as long as that did not change you don’t need to, but your firm might ask if the expiration is close.

Also congratulations on your promotion.

Yes, if it means change in the band and change in duties...For e.g. in my previous organization manager, sr. manager and associate director all fell under manager band so if you get promoted from M up to AD then no amendment but if you get promoted from AD to D then it's a new band (Director) so amendment is necessary in that case...Check with your immigration team whether it's a band change in your organization and hence amendment is necessary?

Cognizant?

I have been waiting to join Deloitte with H1B transfer. Received RFE early march and waiting for BAL (law firm) to send response. It has been almost 2 months and getting really anxious.
Irrespective of the result of rfe, atleast the filing should be done. I have also not received any response on reminder emails sent last week. Is this very common ?,

I would be starting my EB1C GC process very soon and I would be eligible for PP since my PD is June 2021.

I am not going for concurrent filing since my wife will come here after 4-5 months. I am wondering if there will be any cooling period because of my wife’s late arrival to the states for filing i485 or we can file as soon as she is here. Contd.
