During these times, is it recommended to start working on H1B transfer receipt? Given that approval can take up to 7-8 months.

I think premium will return quicker than 7-8months. Obviously there is no timing on that but I feel it will come back sooner. When I joined KPMG, premium was suspended and K strongly recommended not joining on receipt even though rejection rate was less than 15% for them. I got the h1 filed in Jan last year year, they got a RFE 35 days later and by the time they responded to RFE premium was back and it was approved in 3 days.

PwC - in the same boat. Let me know what you decide

I am intending to take a leap of faith. And couple others too - loooing at the market and external factors it might be hard for the company to hold of that many months and who knows how long will it take to get wn approval. Also the market will take time to retain its posture so finding another H1B job that aligns might be harder than before. Thoughts?

Hi everyone,

I was affected by layoffs about a month ago and urgently looking for a good immigration lawyer. The lawyer should be experienced in handling this 60 day grace period situation and developing alternate strategies - such as change of status to B1/B2 or applying to jobs from India. There is a lot of noise and wrong information going in the market so looking for good recommendations. 

I have very little time left for my grace period to end and need a consultation soon. Thanks

Amex corporate green card or CSR? I’m not seeing many benefits to the Amex and I’m wondering whether I should just stop paying the annual fee and apply for CSR instead and get reimbursed for business expenses from that card. Considering I can only put business reimbursable expenses on the Amex, it’s not accumulating points very fast. Would I be better off consolidating my points on CSR? Amex platinum doesn’t seem like the right move for me right now.
