Folks who have worked in India(or outside US) temporarily(> 1 year) and returned to home office (US), how has been your experience ?

Mainly looking to understand -
1. How complex is the process if I am on h1
2. Any complexities while repatriating
3. Capturing the lost h1b time
4. Was it international transfer or long term assignment

I got my H1B rejection yesterday...

How is rejection different from Denial? I am guessing this just means I wasn't picked.

Going to talk to a CPA but curious how many of you take the home office deduction? I do most of my work at home but meet clients at an office in a high rise. The IRS info isn’t clear if I qualify

International 🐠, I recently recieved my green card I140 receipt notification under EB1C. Can I switch companies without having my green card process being affected?

Does anyone knows if Deloitte can file H1B before the starting date? I got hired around October 2021 and official starting date might around summer/fall 2022. I am a F1 student who holds OPT for one year, period from Feb 18, 2022 to Feb 18,2023. So it seems I just got one chance for H1B lottery, which is March 2022. Before I reach out to HR, just wanna know if anyone has similar situation!

Does anyone know if EY is part of the plaintiff associations (NAM, chamber of commerce, Technet, Intrax,...) that benefit from the H1B and L1 visa ban exemption?

Is H1B sole precedent to Green Card or can the employer apply from my F1 OPT? Wondering as it is not clearly mentioned anywhere

What are the next step after H1B petition approval? Do we have to book visa appointment or company does that on our behalf?

Hello everyone!
I recently found out that I was being paid less than everyone in the team (more than 25% gap to more expe teammates, around 15% less than new hires)
We all had the same responsibilities, I consider I even had a heavier workload (talking in past tense since I very recently made an internal move).
Things to consider:
On a work visa
Non-white
Non-male
What would you recommend doing?
Keeping it to myself?
Speaking up? How? With who?

-TIA
