H1-B Visa Stamping Question: My H1-B visa has expired. I need to go to India in January for a wedding. The wait time for Dropbox and interview appointments is ridiculous long for consulates in India. Is it easy to go to Mexico or another third country to get my visa stamped? Are there any risks I should be mindful of?

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)

Hi new here. Idk what my value is and if I’m getting paid an amount that reflects my hard work. I am a paralegal for a small law firm (family and immigration) w only 1 attorney.

Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕
