Did anyone submit their H1B petition with premium processing this month? How long did it take for you to hear back / how long has it been since you receipt date?

Hi all. I had a question regarding 2020 taxes. My understanding is that we as immigrants are not eligible for the following:
1. Getting any stimulus checks
2. Calming any relief stimulus refunds (or rebates on the taxes paid).

I am currently on a H1B visa.

Is the above understanding correct? Thanks in advance.

Hi, did any of you receive H1B receipt notice after filing..please let us know asap.

Is it standard to get revocation notice for H1B petition from older employee after transfer and approval of the petition with new employer? Has anyone here faced it before or know what does that mean?

Had any one used a Immigration attorney for green card?

My H1B extension was approved last week! Just want to throw out some positive vibes for everyone who’s still waiting on decision, and good luck!!!

RFE for client location denied. What next? Will this impact my ongoing Green Card process?

About to be offered a position at Deloitte London as SC. Exp : ~9.
Visa sponsorship is needed. I foresee a possible negotiation on compensation from Deloitte.

Not sure of the estimate yet but I understand it would be 55-60k as per other fishes . Should I settle for a lower comp while employer pays one time sponsorship & migration costs or bear the migration costs self and chase a good salary . Which is better ?

Note : moving to UK with spouse and kid
