Specifically, what do you do in the 8 hour work days.. do you go into the office at all? No point finding new projects since I’m leaving anyway... can I just go somewhere while keeping my work phone on?

Just enjoy your time. If you resign when you are on bench, hr generally ask you to leave early.. if they don’t, then just keep it cool and have fun!

I have not reached out to people when I am on bench even I am employed and no sign of leaving soon..

Folks in similar situation in my firm either do proposal work or develop IC based on their past engagements.

Yes. They do. The HR/staffing manager puts them in touch with the higher ups who need help in proposals. I know that the job that people do during this time will be half hearted but they do something nonetheless.

1. Project Allocation - allocated to projects without fitment with the role or skills. No internal job portal

2. Lots of seniors in bench for long time

My PERM PWD was filed in early February and I’m still waiting. Almost all PWDs filed in the same month in my company have received determination, and all that are still in process are in the same department/team as me. I wonder what’s going on there.
What happens if a PWD takes more than 12 months to get approved? Would we have to file a new PWD since the 9141 wage survey is only valid for 12 months? (Feels like a PWD that takes >12 months to adjudicate would break the world record though).

Should I just move to London as soon as I'm able to, or is it worth waiting until the end of my OPT in August in case they do a second round of the H1B lottery?
