For folks who recently got their EAD, how long from the time of filing your I-485 did you get it?

I got mine in about 3 months

Yes... in January, the priority date to file I-485 was still current for EB3 ROW. Then it retrogressed in February or March I think.

I was born in India and I got it in 4 months. They sent me an RFE saying that I didn’t include a copy of passport (even though that wasn’t the case). Without this RFE, I probably could have gotten in less than 3 months. Good luck with your EAD

EY1 - If you cannot get the original, you are better off getting a brand new birth certificate for your spouse and submit that photocopy in the application. You don’t want to be submitting one version as part of the application and show a different version during the interview. Just check with your law firm.

Even I had the same question

What service center was this timeline at? Thanks!

Hey, so I was offered a CDP position as an analyst in Accenture starting this fall, but today I just found out I got the Fulbright scholarship to be an ETA in Thailand for a year. It’s an honor of course, and I’m thinking about asking my recruiter if I could delay my Accenture start date for a year. Would it be worth it to do so? Is it even possible?

Hi fishes,
I am currently working as a Data Science Analyst in Amex and would like to make a switch to Fraud detection/Credit risk modelling in future.(not in a hurry but would like to start preparing for the same)
How should I go about preparing for it? Is MBA the only course?
My current tech stack is Python, Pyspark, Hive, SQL, ML, DL(specifically NLP based). I have already done MS in CS from IIT Kgp.
I am confused mainly cause the tech stack requirement is similar to my role in the company.

- I didn't get selected in the H1B lottery.

Question:
Should I just move to London as soon as I'm able to, or is it worth waiting until the end of my OPT in August in case they do a second round of the H1B lottery?
