H1B fishes... what is the visa process/timeframe when switching jobs (i.e transferring H1B visa from one employer to the other), how quick can you start working at the other job?

D2, if you still are in status with a valid approval, you can technically apply for a transfer. A transfer is simply a separate h1 petition.

like

Transfer approval usually takes 3-5 months, barring any hiccups like RFEs. You can start working as soon as your petition is received by USCIS, that's usually with a week after the petition is submitted.

Approvals are unpredictable now. Don’t switch without h1b approval

Yeah I’m in the process right now and the strong recommendation from my lawyers is to wait for approval. Premium processing may be available again in February

You know what.. Premium process has already started :)

Anyone know if you can apply for a transfer if your extension petition is still pending with your current company?

Thanks, S1

They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?

Stupid question. In the H&S salary report, are the splits by size of the fund based on the fund itself or the PE firm? For example, Blackstone has 800b+ aum but any specific fund within Blackstone manages something less like let’s say it’s a $30b fund or a new fund that’s only raised $2b so far? Would the salary report be based on the company level aum or the specific fund (even if it’s a brand new fund that hasn’t raised much within a larger firm)? My guess is the latter or somewhere between.

Hi Guys,
Can anyone help me with an information on how EY INDIA provides variable to employees. I know it's 0-20%, so is it monthly ? or what kind of measures they consider in order to provide variable pay.
Also, suppose the package is 6 Lakhs, so can we say that the package is 600000 + 20% of 6 Lakhs = 720000. (As EY has 20% variable Pay)

Thanks in Advance !
