Sorry OP!! How long do you have left in ur current visa? If you have enough time you can ask for transfer to Canada or any other country . If not then hopefully they can accommodate you in India practice.

Not the end of everything OP. Was in the same boat few months back. Went to India, filed for a new extension application, got another RFE, got approved and am back. You should immediately start your new application and plan to spend few weeks at India firm

This has become the norm, you exit US & reapply with the same petition & it will be approved without rfe, it’s just to trouble the employer & employees .

😣 sorry OP! Any partners that can help you transfer to another member firm?

I'm so sorry for you OP! I'm sad to see a fellow Big4 person (or a highly qualified colleague) go through this

Any rfe prior to denial? Sounds selfish, but can you give more details of your situation?

I have masters in analytics and was in the analytics practice of EY. Not sure why i got a reject. Yes i got an RFE and I responded with details of my masters coursework and also how it relates to my analytical work at EY.

And my visa expires in July 2018.

Very sorry OP, I'm in the same line of work, EY - I'm really not sure of the system anymore. I wish you good luck and strength to handle the next two months.

Sorry to hear this. Fk Trump.

Curious to know when you say extension do you mean f1 to h1b conversion? what was your undergrad degree, salary level (1-4)?

Am so sorry to hear man. Reach out to all partners you know.

Consultant 1: No, this was my extension for another three years. I have a valid H1B with first three years expiring in July.

C1, I think he meant the 3 year extension

Wow. This is so bad 🙁 Agree with others. Get transferred to other offices and then come back on L1.

BTW, What reason did they give you? Specialty occupation?undergrad degree was different? Hate this stupidity!

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.

Hello friends. I got a second interview for a Rate Analyst position that, from my research, averages ~90,000 per year. However, I also saw an average of 63,000 on Glassdoor. The job description says 1-3 years experience, I have one year experience and currently earn 62,000 in my first job out of college. I don’t want to be outrageous, would asking for 90k be the wrong move? I plan on asking how much they have budgeted for the position prior to floating a number.
