Given the immigration climate, would you guys recommend changing offices and going through an H1B amendment? I hear folks getting RFEs on that as well.

You cannot avoid it for long time anyway. Each project you work, you need get h1 b amended. So, depends on how much you want to move to other city, you should decide it. Moving to diff city is a big decision (of course it depends individual reasons but most likely it is), so I would go through h1b process for that..

Also, situation is NOT as bad as we think. Almost every company gets at least 75% of their filings approved (per USCIS & WSJ).

Hi Folks, I'm currently in search of a mentor. I'm a 28y/o MSc grad and starting a Junior Funding Consultant role (writing grant applications for startups) as I'm tired of holding out for an entry level role in ESG/Sustainability - I keep getting rejections despite completing a very wide ranging internship at a renewable energy company. Last year I received an offer at Deloitte Belgium but due to Brexit & VISA delays, we couldn't continue. Now I'm unsure of my career progression & need guidance.

Do I need to inform the USCIS/DHS I gained another citizenship? FYI I'm on a working visa specific for a certain country.

Hello, I’m a UX/UI designer with 6 years of experience based in Italy and willing to move to London. I’ve been sending CV on LinkedIn for months but clearly I’m doing something wrong. I’ve been doing interviews with big companies around Europe but never from UK, don’t know if it’s because of the Visa or something else. I’m attending a UX course in a London-based school to have a more valuable certification for the UK market. Anyone in the field that could share any tips? Thank you very much

Does Alvarez or AlixP file for H1B? Recruiters reached out but not sure if they will do the work visas. Any insights would be much appreciated!

I got to know someone thru work, and flirted a bit over 1 week. Then we never spoke again because of work geography. He reached out this week after 9 months+ asking for a visa sponsor to take a vacay in my country (given mobility restriction these days), and asked me to hook him up with a business visa referral letter thru my connections. He also said he’s coming with gf. I said im happy to write him a personal reference letter, but wont be able to get him a business one. Is this rude?

Hi everyone, I’ve been trying to land my first product design role and I can’t seem to get my foot in the door. I’ve asked mentors from ADPlist to review my LinkedIn and resume as well as my portfolio and I haven’t had any luck. I graduated from uni in 2020, was bedridden for a whole year which led me to fall behind and I’m embarrassed that I can’t seem to get a job after months of actively trying - I desperately need help as I’m on a Visa that requires me to be employed.
Any advice?

Anyone else come across such behavior from Indian Americans?
