Does anyone know how to get V&I to start the green card process? I keep getting an automated support response every time I reach V&I site. For context, I just finished my first year at EY and had an approved I-140 from my prior employer, but my H1-B runs out on August 2022. Without a approved Perm I won’t be able to get H1- B extension

Hey all - How long is it taking to get H1B visa stamped in India after dropbox appt?

I accepted an offer from Cognizant for a consultant position a little less than a month ago. My joining date is 5th September and I would need visa sponsorship. I have completed my pre joining formalities and background verification. The thing is I haven’t heard from HR in a while and no update as yet on visa sponsorship process. Should I be worried?

Has anyone had success claiming for unemployment benefits while on H1B? For data point, I’m in NY and I received a request for documents showing work authorization and sent back EAD, SSN, copy of H1B stamp and I797. Case is still processing.

After you accepted an offer form a Big 4, how long does it takes them to file for your H1b? Assuming registration is open

What to do with stocks/crypto accumulated in US, sell them when moving back to home country after completing H1B ? What about taxation when you hold and sell later ?

Currently on H1B and waiting for an offer from EY. Does EY kick start with green card process quickly in special cases. HR said normally it is 1 yr but he has to check with legal team. More inside..

Got H1B lottery picked up last year (2021). Now I have an approved petition. But I am not holding visa.

In this situation - can I able to switch company? Can I able to change the petitioner(new employer) in this approved petition?

Did anyone get a response from immigration team on h1b 3rd lottery results ?

Does Fis provide on site job opportunities and support for masters studies or visa sponsorship

Anyone got H1B interview appointment? I am still waiting for the HR to confirm that I can go ahead and take an appointment. What is the process , why to still keep on waiting when I can see the appointments are available now.

I’m currently on H1B visa, can I take a side job like tutoring outside of my day to day consulting job at EY?

On EAD. Anyone made the move to Canada, Europe, etc coz of the all immigration issues - H1B, DACA, etc. seriously thinking hard. limited options and so stressful to deal with.

H1b season is 3 days away and no response from law firm. Is anyone facing issues with a brand new h1b ? Opt case

Deloitte onboarding E-mail says , it background verification is not complete by target start date , they can postpone the date last minute.
I have 14th march as a start date and I don’t know my background verification status.
I emailed BIONBoarding but no response.
How am I supposed to give notice to my current employer without knowing BGC status ?
Please advise if someone faced this situation.
(P.S. I don’t have any record, just being cautious because I am on H1B/work visa)

Has anyone refinanced their student loans on h1b visa? Is common bond the only option?

Anyone switched from consular processing to change of status to activate their H1B? If yes, could you pls share when and how(i.e. if you had a ppmd looped in) you reached out to the law firm. My worm authorization is set to expire in 6 months and travel to home country is risky..

Need advice. Currently at $142k base. 3 years and 1 month left before I max out of H1b. Just got my PWD issued through current employer though their immediate reaction is subtly letting me know they’re not in a hurry to start recruitment. Got an offer today for $160k base. Similar role, both are good teams, etc. Do I politely decline and see my GC process through or accept and get more money? Feel like current employer will drag their feet as long as they can for retention purposes.

Hi Fishes,

Could you please help me with with below scenario :
My YOE is 4.3 and ctc is 13 lpa. I am currently nominated for H1B 2023 and my petition is pending with USCIS for approval after lottery. I have heard H1B process could take months to complete. Should I waiting for the H1B or make a swtich? Is it worth waiting for H1B and how much saving one can make per month if traveling to US?

Kindly share your thoughts

Just heard that my district will have classroom and live-recording learning. I’m thankful because I now can feed my family, my newborn and a recent-sponsored wife! I’m scared because I’m almost 50 and I’m afraid I might catch the virus and die leaving behind my 1 month baby and a wife who is not legal in the state yet! The USCIS or Trump’s dept. thinks she’s not good enough to be in the US!! We applied for green card and SS card since August 2019!

So, recently got put on a PIP after six months at my new job., two days after I told my boss and HR I recently learned I have a cognitive disability caused by an illness. The PIP was mostly because I forgot some deadlines, but also they said I need to be more professional in emails (even though others use zero punctuation and a lot of emojis. To clients.) and simultaneously ask more questions and ask fewer questions. Should I just assume this is unattainable and look for a new job again?
