Can someone please share how easy or difficult it is to get a job with EAD on an H4 visa? Also how difficult is getting the EAD itself? Apologies if it's a naive question. I'm not too familiar with the US visa scene. Asking genuinely for a friend 😀

My family members have an F3 visa approved since 2012. Visa bulletin is now sometime in 2008. Iam confused if after the uscis approval they needed to have received the welcome letter from NVC or if that will only come when their case is current. Thank you all

As a business analyst how is Amex GBT in terms of culture, WLB and projects?

trying to decide if i downgrade from CSR to CSP. for anyone who has done so, do you qualify for the perks like free dashpass and peloton credit? do you get to keep existing benefits like lyft pink? sadly not eligible for the CSP bonus yet.

Has anyone used Amex Corporate Advantage program? If so, how soon did you get the $150 credit after you opened a personal credit card?

Any possibility to transfer H1B approval from Infosys to new company? It is not yet stamped

Final day at current company tomorrow and I have 100k+ AMEX points I need to use before they disappear forever. How should I redeem them to get the most bang for my buck?

Cleared first round and my on-site is next week. It just came to my notice something about visa sponsorship in JD. It states “This role is not eligible for immigration sponsorship.” I have H1B but I would need H1b transfer and GC sponsorship. Can anyone help me out here.

Hi all, my H1B got approved today and I am waiting on the actual physical notice. In parallel I have a L2 EAD extension request in process. My H1B is valid from oct 1 only. Can I withdraw my L2 tomorrow? Is it okie if I am out of status for nine days? I am worried that the L2 will get approved. If it does get approved, what do I do?

Does anyone know someone from Korea who’s moved here professionally? Have a friend who is considering Aus vs US (v strong profile, but unsure about immigration policies and doesn’t know anyone who’s made the jump before)

I have an H1b which I received in 2019 and was valid till august2021, due to covid I wasn't able to travel and then I switched to another firm last year in November. If I get visa transfer, will it provide me a validity back as I haven't used any on site time on that visa.

TIA

Marriott screwed my room by double booking the room due to a glitch in the system and having another set of guests walk into my room in the middle of my biz meeting - a bit of a startling/annoying experience - they’ve apologised for it - is this worth any points?

Is there any advantage to telling a company you are interested in working for in the future where you decided to accept an offer from? Or does it not matter? I accepted an offer a week ago with a great company (Company A) that for this season in my life seems like a great fit and only strengthens what I have to offer company B down the road. Company B just sent me a request for interview and I want to keep the door open with Company B but they were just very late in extending an interview.
