Do I need to initiate LCA assessment request? I’m currently on F1 student visa using my OPT. I got selected in the lottery this year and I just responded to the RFE so I still don’t have the H1B(cont)

No until you enter your H1B status officially

Thanks so much!

If you’ll be traveling when H1 begins (assuming October time period), make sure to have the LCA filed proactively so it doesn’t interrupt travel

Thanks a lot!

I just got my first engagement and it requires traveling. In my case, would I have to initiate a LCA assessment request even though I’m not an H1B visa holder?

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?

Hi all,

My PERM is filed in October 2021 and H1B is maxing out in May (18) 2022. What are the options for me now? What are the positive chances? Please suggest if anyone would have any idea.

For H1B stamping, while there are many cases of admin processing, which take 2-4 months, have there been any cases of Denial after that or do most cases come out of admin processing with approval?
