Do you get your I-797 approval notice in the mail directly from USCIS for H1B? Or do they only send to your lawyers who then have to mail it to you? Seeing mixed comments on this forum so curious how it’s gone for others at Deloitte working with BAL.

Thanks!

BAL receives it, sends you an email to confirm your mailing address and then sends it by overnight FedEx. I got my amendment approval from them recently.

For H1B it should go to your employer (who typically files with an address c/o the layered) since you, as the beneficiary, are more of a passive bystander in the application. Also I would *not* want to have my address be where USCIS sends stuff, I don’t want that responsibility (in non-Covid times I’d be out of town 4 days out of 5): if you are not sure, definitely check with HR

From the law firm.

Hey - do any of y’all have an idea of the timeline? How long does it take to be sent over once approved?

Two to three weeks for it to reach your lawyers and an additional day or two for it to reach you

So
- I didn't get selected in the H1B lottery.
- My company has agreed to send me to their London office for a year (haven't yet filed application).
- OPT ends in late June, so I can stay till mid-late August (grace period).

Question:
Should I just move to London as soon as I'm able to, or is it worth waiting until the end of my OPT in August in case they do a second round of the H1B lottery?

Which one I should choose?
In Tigerhall, I will get a lot of free time as the work is same as what I have done so far in my career therefore, I can focus on more things now.
In Zupee, I will get to learn new skill which might be good for my career.
Also, comparatively in hand salary of Tigerhall is higher than Zupee (it will less tax deduction as it's a Singapore based company)
Please suggest
