Do people here know of any cases of H1B transfer denial? Moving between Big 4 and MBB, and giving notice tomorrow, but haven't heard back on H1B transfer decision yet (10 days PP).

So premium processing is back on for transfers?

If it's pp, why not wait 5 more days to find it out before giving notice?

For 2 week notice need to give it then... should I just not care about 2 week notice?

2 weeks is not required, just expected.

@kpmg1 is wrong. 2 weeks notice is required, read your contract. Considering you are joining a direct competitor, it is likely they will ask you to leave immediately.
In some cases they may ask you to stay on for the 2 week period, based on client commitments, replacement resources, etc.

Wait for two weeks to serve during the notice period. Can you tell your new employer to delay your start date by a week?

Are you in an at-will employment state? Then it’s not required. At least at KPMG, the required notice period is for directors and above only. Not staff.

I'm doing a transfer too. Moving to a tech firm. Got an RFE this Friday. Premium processing.

@ey1 sorry to hear, what was the rfe for? how long did it take for that rfe decision?

Got the RFE this Friday. Still waiting to hear about the reason.

Hello everyone!
I recently found out that I was being paid less than everyone in the team (more than 25% gap to more expe teammates, around 15% less than new hires)
We all had the same responsibilities, I consider I even had a heavier workload (talking in past tense since I very recently made an internal move).
Things to consider:
On a work visa
Non-white
Non-male
What would you recommend doing?
Keeping it to myself?
Speaking up? How? With who?

-TIA
