H1B approved this year. I was in the US when the President’s PO got into effect. I need to go to India for my brother’s marriage in December. Couple of questions:
1) Are embassies in India allowing emergency requests for H1Bs?
2) if yes, are newly approved H1Bs allowed for stamping?

I hope to get some thoughtful responses from this post and nothing more.
I work for a mid-tier firm after working for big 4s, I joined here after being let go. Having worked for a year, I kind of have this constant thought in my mind that my next lay off is coming. Reasons I think I don’t meet the expectations- in a way my work quality is average. Given am on H1b and a family man, this constant thought of lay off is driving me so crazy that I fear might take me to depression. What should I do?

Any hope getting an h1b visa after OPT? Or after graduation nowadays? I’m trying to help out a few friends and I’m not too familiar with the landscape but really want to understand their options.

Hey Team

I'm on a H1B so I am supposed to pay Medicare and SS taxes, but my employer has not withheld anything- my hnr block advisor caught that but she just completed my returns assuming I don't have to pay those taxes

What is the right protocol in this case? Do I owe SS and fica taxes?

Does PwC US reimburse the visa MRV fee paid for dropbox/visa stamping?

Just heard my H1B petition was approved. Visa will be valid starting Oct 1, 2021. I am also scheduled to get promoted in October (unsure of which date exactly). Hypothetically, if I get promoted from Account Coordinator to Account Manager I on Oct 5, after my H1B kicks in on Oct 1, how would this work logistically? Planning on going back to home country and also getting the visa issuance in Dec. Similar experience, anyone? Appreciate your input.

Hi Fishes,

My wife is getting an onsite opportunity for the US via internal transfer (L1 Visa). My company is not providing me that opportunity. So she wants me to travel with her. Can I go with her on her Visa? How can I go? What is the procedure to get a job in the US if I travel with her?

Hello,

The immigration firm(for the new company I’ve accepted offer from) reached out with a link to put in my details for H1 transfer. They specifically mentioned that they won’t support dependent immigration.
My wife is on H4, how do I go about her immigration requirements? Does she need a transfer or amendment on current visa once I get my visa transferred?
Thank you

Anyone starting on March 15th? Has your visa process initiated by Vialto? Recruiter has been unresponsive

Anyone know all-in costs for Fragomen to process an EB2 or 3 for ROW filer? Got an offer includes GC Day 1 but the company has never done one, so I’d basically be leading the process with the lawyers. I got a referral to a smaller firm that quoted ~20k incl. gov’t fees. Interested in going with Fragomen given they did my H1B and started my GC with my current Firm.

Administrators: some advice. Considering the vast differences in districts, it can take a few tries for teachers to find their true “school home” where philosophies & values click. On applications, what “Reason for leaving” have YOU seen that come across as warnings or red flags? And, on the flip side, which “Reasons for Leaving” have you seen that are totally relatable/understandable and wouldn’t think anything of?

Fellow Recruiters! Any certifications you recommend that really pushed you to the next level? I’ve checked out CIR, PHR, etc., but they don’t seem to be quite what I’m looking for. I’ve been recruiting for 4.5 years and would like to find one that could bolster my resume as well as learn more Talent Advisor vs. Recruiter skills. Thanks for any insight!

I transferred on a L1A, but when I checked by I-94 after border crossing is was marked as L1B ?! Is this a big deal? Will it impact me in any way?!

Had a question- I pulled up my I-94 form and saw that my entry date was valid till 2020 which was my old petition. After that I had applied for extension and got an approval till December 2022. Never travel back to home county during this time. Should I get the I-94 updated with latest dates or is it fine. Please let me know.
