Fellow H1B fish, how are you handling the Amendment situation if your client/engagement locations change often

No..EY by default posts LCA for ur base location. So 3 years for ur h1, and say u only have a client project for 6 months..u will submit an amendment/LCA again after 6 months for a new location

likehelpful

Guys, absolutely nothing has changed. Can u guys tell me how it's different. We always needed amendments for new locations. Onky difference here I see is that the directive of not even starting work until the LCA was filed. Again, this is to tackle all the lazy bums out there who think it's not their responsibility to keep a tab on the status in spite of an email every month reminding you to do an assessment. Giving an itinerary of wirk performed - this was an RFE on my previous amendment and extension. I really don't see anything different.

U shud technically still get your h1. As I said, we r comparing ourselves to the way body shops operate and freaking out.

Your 'original' h1b defines terms of where u want to work. Ey randomly puts 3-4 big cities. So if ur new client is within jurisdiction of these addresses, you are fine. If not an amendment is filed. Now if ur amendment is denied, you still have the right to work per original terms i.e. those 4 cities that u already have approval. And EY can again file amendment if they know reason for denial

Sure..there are still grey areas which our law firm is working out..but it mostly is okay. Other body shops
1) do not have base location . They work only and only out of client locations
2) they are not state side employees. They are not employees of a US corporation.
And other conditions..Too much to type but u get the idea

we can do nothing right now. but it seems the impact is massive and the leadership is hands on for this particular issue

Except the risk of having the entire visa rescinded or the duration modified to fit the latest SOW is much higher now

Are you saying that uscsis doesn't/can't cancel the existing visa in case they deny the amendment request?

Aah,makes sense. Thanks EY2.

My firm has a collections budget (80% of your billable rate x 1850 hours) and an hourly budget that must be met in order to be eligible for a bonus. The firm cares very little about originations and will reward someone for making their collections over someone who brings in new work. I missed my collection budget due to some odd timing with a client, but originated more than all my peers so no bonus for me. I’ve been at this same mid level firm for 9 years and it’s all I know. Is this normal??

Hi Everyone,

Need some inputs before making an important decision.
I have offer from Cognizant and they are promising that next quarter they will initiate my Canada visa. They are giving assurance when I spoke to them over call. Also, my current employer Accenture is also saying the same to retain me. Can I believe Cognizant? Also, Canada onsite is best in which company - Accenture or Cognizant. Please suggest based on your experience.

Thanks in advance!

My American citizen 8 month old is on tourist visa in India; current stay runs out on June 7. Flying outside the country is a risk we don’t want to take w/COVID. Don’t want to overstay the visa either. So we applied online on eFRRO to convert his visa to X-1 so we can apply for his OCI. They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?

I remember when I first started working on my thesis project. My adviser asked me to get some funding for it, but he didn't give me any advice about how to do that.

Sure enough, after weeks of writing applications and waiting around for responses from the committee members (who were always too busy), I eventually got approved for funding!
