M1 your sentiments appreciated.... frustration is no solution. You may be a janitor or a PHD holder but the dream to accomplish and get the GC is common..

Atleast you international managers are getting ead in 4 months. My wait time for ead is 40 yrs. If you are managers from cognizant then I hate you guys.

What is there to hear about? If you see the visa bulletins you will know that even EB1 has retrogressed the past couple of years. The quota ran out in June last year and in April this year and resets on October 1 for the new fiscal when it usually becomes current. Every time they run of visas they have been pushing the date back to January 2012 but that doesn’t mean there are cases pending from then.

Now the 6 year thing is just some prediction like the 150 year wait for eb2/3.

Yes it has been going back to current on October 1 the past couple of years when the fiscal year quota resets. You can get all this info if you look up historical visa bulletins.

Not sure how much longer this trend will continue and when it will completely get pushed back like eb2/3 is to be seen.

like

Yes its true... hoping that it would go back to current in future..

Is that technically possible? If so how? Not aware of this part of the process :(

Vicious cycle.. I heard it was almost 2-3 yrs. Earlier in Jan this year

Why is not possible? If every Tom dick and Harry claim that they are “executives with international experience” and flood even EB1 (through the 1C) category. It is bound to happen. It just throws a wrench for people on 1A/B with PhD, patents and research experience.

@ Manager 1: I meant “is it possible that the 2012 date would go back to current"

Clear. Thanks!

Its not. Its a random push. It will be back to current in October. Look the concurrent filing of 485 and i140 is still current. Its only final action dates. They stop after quota set is reached.

I blacked out and hit on a coworker at a work-related event. I would never have normally done it (aside from the stupid amounts of alcohol in my system) and they are in a committed relationship, making everything so much worse.

No idea how I’m going to interact with them in basically every meeting I have for now until I leave the company.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?

Not sure if this is the right forum but - my H1B extension has been approved (just got to know today) but my driving license will expire soon. Can my license be renewed without the original extension petition? Or do I need to wait for the originals to come in. Trying to understand what do I need to carry to the DMV. Based in CA. Couldn’t find a lot of info online, appreciate any help and advice!

And to throw into the mix, my lease is up so will be shifting to a new address soon.
