Deloitte 🐟 whose H1B cases got picked this time - has BAL submitted your case yet to USCIS? Mine is still in progress and under reviews but was curious if thats still the case with others. My current visa will run out in few months, hence anxious if I should push BAL to submit sooner.

Are H1B holders eligible to get the stimulus package, if other criteria are met? Have been hearing contradictory statements.

Hello everyone,

Can someone pls guide me about the relocation parameters within FIS. I work out of India location and applied for IJP for London as my husband is moving there. In parallel my team came back saying they want to retain me and willing to create a position in London but that will involve alot of approvals due to increased cost. Can someone suggest if this is possible or not and which option would be better for me? Also, do FIS provide tier 2 worker visa for such transfers?

Anyone know which agency sponsors employment based green card? My currency company won’t sponsor until my h1b expires in 2-3 years, so i’m curious to see how other companies handle.

Leaving the US after 3 tries of H1B lottery. I’m on OPT STEM, what should I NOT forget before I leave the country? Thanks!!

I’m starting with a new company in May. They are sponsoring me for H1B lottery this March.
Should I tell my current company to not sponsor me for H1B lottery this March? (I don’t want to break the news of leaving) (Are there consequences of two firms sponsoring me at the same time?)

Any firms or companies hiring now that don’t take forever with their green card process? My H1B ends in September 2024 and EY is not making meaningful progress on my perm process. Looking for roles that require really strong financial modeling and analytics skills.

Anyone else got told that they don’t meet the work experience requirements for their PERM role? Have less than 2 years left on my H1B until the 6 year max and don’t know my options. Our immigration team has not been responsive or helpful.

Flying to Cancun tomorrow & back day after. Last intl trip, CBP updated my I-94 to stamped visa date of former employer and not new employer 797. Visa & I-94 expire next week. What a mess.

Currently looking for an outside sales position in Massachusetts.

I have 7 years experience in sales. But I am relocating from North Carolina to Massachusetts.

Would anyone happen to know any great companies hiring?

A majority of my experience is in the logistics and logistics technology side of sales. I’ve been working remotely doing over the phone/ zoom demo sales. But I would love the opportunity to service my clients in person!

What is an acceptable age to complete an MBA program if the goal is MBB or T2 strategy consulting post-MBA?

With current salary around 120k, should I pause my career to do a full time MBA or do something part time like the Booth Evening and Weekend program. goal is defense/national security consulting at MBB. It would put a lot of financial strain on my family for me to quit working and go to school full time but at the same time I worry that part time will drastically reduce my chances for the career I really want.

Hello ,

How much is the cost of a 2BHK for rent near Doddanekundi area ?

What are some good and affordable societies near to Bagmane bussiness park area ?

My budget is around 30K .

Thanks in advance.

I have been here for over a decade, moved several times and had to start from scratch with my network. Recently I am feeling disconnected from friends and romantic interests who don’t share a similar experience to mine ex—family within an hour distance, living in the same city for their entire life that they have many friends local. While I signed up for this, I have an urge to connect more with people who have similar experiences to mine. Curious if anyone else experienced this and what worked…

Looking for a female roommate to sublet the second bedroom in my apartment on Upper East Side (technically Yorkville). Rent is $1482 a month, with option to take smaller bedroom for less. Quiet tree-lined block, steps from park and river. Recently renovated 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment with pretty decent sized kitchen and living room. Clean, chill, and normal roommate (me, 30 year old female). It’s rent stabilized, that’s why it’s so cheap. DM me and I’ll send pics/more details!

US immigration question. Green card interview date was cancelled in March 2020. It’s been a whole year of just waiting for a reschedule date, so the I-485 is transferable (e.g. to another state, another employer). Has anyone transferred their i-485 to another employer? What was that process like? Would my process start from the interview phase? How did you prove that the next job was in the same category? Please mention if you did the process before or during the pandemic. Thanks so much.

Has anyone recently received a H1B visa stamp (renewal)?

What would happen to H4 ead /h4 cos while we travel out of country.

H1-b amendment got RFE and now I need to travel to India. Is it safe to travel and come back? Have the original I797 and stamping.

extension filed and received the receipt number but when going in uscis site it says the receipt number is wrong. What does this mean ?

I’m starting with a new company in May. They are sponsoring me for H1B lottery this March.
Should I tell my current company to not sponsor me for H1B lottery this March? (I don’t want to break the news of leaving) (Are there consequences of two firms sponsoring me at the same time?)

Spouse was stuck outside US since H4 stamping stopped by EO. They came here on B2 and have been here some months now. Would you recommend apply for H4 and change status while they are here? Downside is it takes 10+ months and spouse can't leave the country in that time.
Alternative is wait till Jan and see if EO expires and H4 can be stamped back home in a matter if a week.
Thoughts?

Can tech companies that laid off personnel file perm for new hires immediately? Is there some cooling period?

I140 got approved and waiting to get H1b extended for another 3 years. Current H1b visa expires in Sept. Do I have to wait until extension processed and approved before leaving for another job?

Had no idea they conducted a third H1b lottery. Anyone hear from Fragomen either way?

With other companies also expected to go through similar GC pauses due to layoffs, should I move out of Deloitte? I have 30 months to max out and all I needs is just a perm to be filed in 18 months

Is Premium Processing stopped right now for H1B transfers? Might have to defer the job hunting if PP can’t be done as switching on acknowledgement seems a bad idea in current scenario.

I am on h1b and have only 2 months left before the first 3 years are over.

Deloitte has not filed for an extension yet, wondering if 2 months is enough time for them to at least file for extension?

For those on consular processing for H1B while still in the US. Can you go abroad (Canada) and come back on your valid status without activating your H1B?
Assuming you still have a valid EAD/AP?

Quick question- should I still apply for 2yr STEM OPT extension if I was picked in H1B lottery this year? My Company is in process of filing H1B petition.
Apologies if this has been asked before (I couldn’t find the thread)

Green Card via employer - Should I bring up previous unauthorized work?

Hi folks, my employer is kicking off my green card process. I am currently in the beginning, filling out employment questionnaires, and working in the paperwork necessary to initiate the petition.

However, during my F-1 years, I engaged in unauthorized work for a small advertising agency.

Is it a requirement to bring up that period within the forms, or should I omit to facilitate the process and to avoid any surprises?

Want to go home. Go back to China. Want to stay with my parents. Feeling so tired.

485 final action date is current in Aug but still hasn’t done fingerprint. Have already submitted medical. Will I get GC as soon as the fingerprint is done?

Will Deloitte have their GC enrollment again in April?
