Being asked to do a ‘little favor’ by manager. But it has been two months on this meaningless task. How can I say stop? Want to resign the next second if I can...but still on H1B pending status.

I was in the same spot OP. I know how it feels. My manager has been giving all kinds of crappy work knowing that i can not leave. I just got my green card, hopefully can move out the first chance i get. Sometimes i wanna make a little surprise and give him notice in the middle of really busy time in the group just so he knows what it’s like to take advantage. Let’s see. Be patient it’s not gonna last forever. Focus on your next jump until your h1b is approved.

Lol being approved is just the beginning..... I’m on H1b as well but even after approval, there are a lot of hoops you have to jump through if you want to move. Even within the same company can cause complications.

Hey all - couple question for anyone working at PwC who has been successful in filing their green card under the EB1-C category. How long did you have to wait to get the process started and did you need to get any approvals? I am currently on an L-1A visa and was told by the immigration team that they wouldn’t start the process until I have been with the US firm for 12 months and typically they would start the process 3.5 years prior to the max visa date. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
