Did Deloitte lawyers not provide guidance/ direction about how long can he/she legally stay in USA ?

They won’t share the actual denial notice and not even the reason. Deloitte immigration lawyers are completely out of the game. The firm needs to replace them ASAP. And to your point, 2-4 weeks is reasonable time to pack up and leave the county and you can also provide legitimate explanation when asked later. I went through the same and got denied again last week. Still no word from our attorneys on what’s next. This is insane

like

@D1 - No, for someone to join another Deloitte firm, that person would have to first resign from the existing firm. So I didn’t choose that. But now that I have got denial again, I may reconsider that option.

Is Deloitte even worth all these Visa shenanigans?

EY1: He has a meeting with the lawyer on Monday to find out the instructions. Deloitte has a weird policy of not sharing application details with the applicant - he found out about the denial status a full week before he was notified officially by the lawyers, and he still hasn’t seen the actual denial yet...

Just don't understand the so called non transparent policy - protecting their own as*

If i94 is expired its expected to leave asap and attorneys suggest 10 days to leave as packing takes time. Attorneys will provide these details during his meeting with them. Ask him to ask all his questions during this meeting

D2: When you say you got denied again last week, was this a fresh h1b application or a response to a rfe?

@D2 : did u join any other deloitte member firm?
