Ask EY to transfer you to Canada if you like to stay in North America.

Hate to say it, but start winding down things. Sell stuff like bed n mattress n dining tables. Furniture is less value n too expensive to put in a storage. For smaller items, if u ever wanna be back, put them in a storage. I did this for a year n half. ~50$/M depending on size and location.

So sorry OP.. this whole thing sucks to no end.

OP, if you’re good a performer, talk to your partners to see if they can help you transfer to EY home country or Canada or other country. I’m not sure about all the rules, but we have done it for people to help them out while they have to reapply or adjust their status. It doesn’t always work because it’s upto that country’s office and not all of us have strong global relationships, by it is an option. Good luck!

I think there is an appeal process. Also the company can apply for a fresh petition that is exempt from cap. I had someone in my team go through the exact scenario. Talk to the immigration team. They should be able to guide you better. Good luck OP!

OP. Do NOT go back to F1. Why put your life on hold just to get back on H1 again??? There are other welcoming countries. Canada, Austria and many more.

Sorry OP. I have had a similar rejection scenario but for me, my current visa was expired before transfer of job. Since you have a visa valid till July, I guess you can appeal for it again. Please check with your immigration team/immigration lawyer about that law. If that is not an option, the company can file a new petition within the cap and you can get your remaining three years with that extension. I had to go out of country and come back with my new visa stamping.

Why?

Was it a L1visa extension? Depends on the type of visa that was denied extension.

talk to your company’s mobility team or immig lawyer

What'd you do OP?

It was H1. I did my masters in analytics. I was in the analytics practice. Was not hoping for this one as it was related. My current H1 expires in July.

Where are you from? I’m also on a work visa but don’t mind going back home lol.

Go back on f1

This sucks :(

So sorry OP, this is shocking :( As others have pointed out, see if Canada is an option worth pursuing.

P1 I have not talked to my partners yet. I am waiting for Mary to reply of what next steps I can take. Thanks!

I just went to each of the 'careers' pages.. Updated resume to match the requirements on each posting. Called out on resume that I need immigration sponsorship. Had a cover letter for each posting.
Before that I spent money on getting a professional resume from Monster. Highly recommended. Good luck all.

H1B visa stamped.

While applying for visa my company quoted 80K as compensation. Now they want to reduce it to 75K.

This feels like unfair practice. Is it common? What should be my approach?
