Fellow Indians on H1B! Did you read the latest visa bulletin? Did they just move the cut off date by 4 years to Feb'14 for EB2? Or am I missing something?

P1 you get 3 year extensions. As for your spouse, you need to make sure there are no gaps in your visa so her visa status is secure.

I think for India it is still November 2004

I read it here : http://www.murthy.com/2016/08/03/august-2016-visa-bulletin-explanations-and-predictions/

I read it as Nov 2004 in the visa bulletin from the U.S department of state. Got me confused.

Says India EB2 cut off date will improve slightly in October and then through 2017, but may only reach the point where it was before the recent retrogression. So maybe it'll reach 2010. Can't say I'm an expert on this matter though as I just got my H1-B the first time.

Is it true that if you change employers after you get your I-140, your new firm needs to file for it again and the dates are reset?

Also ugh, I knew this was too good to be true!!

Are you sure about this? Also, how much extension do you get each time on your H1-B during this period? I ask coz if you need to file for an extension every year, my spouse who works on an H4 EAD will have breaks in her employment every year. Or am I missing anything here?

What is the process for switching jobs once the application is in? Is there one?

K1 - has KPMG sponsored your green card?

In process yes

K1 - we need to talk. Can you post something with your username on FB. So I can send you a request for private chat. Thanks!

Dumb question - what is the impact of this announcement for EB2 applicants? My firm just started the perm process..
