Can h1b folks get CLEAR? Talking abt airport screening here.

After completing 20 years as a Law Enforcement Officer with the Feds and on the way getting a JD and passing the Bar… trying to transition to an Immigration Attorney position… easier said than done!

Can another company apply for H1B for you if you’re still employed at a current employer (and if so, do you need to notify the current employer that you’re in the process if you are on L1 visa?).

How long does it take to hear back on H1b extension once you receive a receipt nowadays? Thought i saw a thread going on, but can’t seem to find it. Also, premium process not coming back at all?

Are there firms willing to hire an experienced audit senior that needs H1B?

I moved to the Netherlands 3 months ago on a spouse visa. Was working with EY-P earlier. I have been applying to jobs and giving interviews but for some reason things are not working out. I get a different reason everytime (after going through the whole process). This has never happened earlier in life and now I don't know what else to do. I have worked as a strategy consultant (& a researcher). Should I change lines? Where else can I try?

Just finished an initial phone screen with a recruiter at KPMG...my candidature was very well recd.. one hour later I got an email saying they will have to pass because they don’t do H1 transfers with less than 3.5 years on visa.

Hi All,

I’m struggling to book an F2 visa appointment on the ustraveldocs website and would appreciate any advice.

I see appointments throughout India but when I select and click proceed, I get a “no ofc appointment available at this location” error. In this constant back and forth I’m ending up exceeding the number of checks I can do, thus potentially freezing my account for 72 hours”
Any idea on how/what the issue could be for ?

I reside in Columbus, Ohio. I have three years of public accounting experience in India from 2012 - 2015 and was unable to work due to visa restrictions.

I feel I can handle more work load than a fresher. Any thoughts and referrals are much appreciated

At what degree of distraction do you stop billing? I ask because it’s impossible to work at a peak level for an entire day. So how do you think about times when you are working but being **slow**? How does this translate into time lost in a typical day working? I know this is a function of how busy you are and the kind of work on your plate—but what is usual and unusual?

My H1B visa stamp (not I-797, which is valid for 3 years) was only issued for 12 months and has now expired. If I want to leave the country and return I need to get a new stamp at a consulate. Has anyone gone through the stamp-only renewal process? Do you have to interview all over again?
