H1B registrations started for 2024? , anyone please let me know..

Fresh grad, just started work in the US (~1 month in) but want to move back to Dubai due to personal reasons. Will hitting the 6m mark (1y won’t be possible - immigration) be helpful? (Cont)

Is there any onsite opportunity in EY GDS for Client Technology line
If yes what's the process.

I have valid H1B petition how can I get it transferred into EY?

I had to leave the US before my lease ended due to visa reasons and subleased the apartment. I will be returning to the US on L1A shortly after the sublease ends (but before the term of the lease expires), could that jeopardize my return on L1A?

Any firms or companies hiring now that don’t take forever with their green card process? My H1B ends in September 2024 and EY is not making meaningful progress on my perm process. Looking for roles that require really strong financial modeling and analytics skills.

I heard Deloitte won't apply Green Card till 2 years after joining. I'm 3 years from H1b max out. 2 years is too late for me. Any possibility to get an earlier start during offer negotiation?

Hi Fishes,

Could you please help me with with below scenario :
My YOE is 4.3 and ctc is 13 lpa. I am currently nominated for H1B 2023 and my petition is pending with USCIS for approval after lottery. I have heard H1B process could take months to complete. Should I waiting for the H1B or make a swtich? Is it worth waiting for H1B and how much saving one can make per month if traveling to US?

My wife and I are moving to Boston from overseas (we’re from Italy and we’ve recently won the diversity visa green card lottery).

We are looking to rent a 1BR starting in January, ideally for ~$3k/month. I’ll be working in the downtown area.

Do you recommend we go for a serviced/luxury apartment (e.g. Montaje, 345 Harrison, etc.) or hire a broker to get a “normal” apartment?

Any managed buildings recommendations within our budget? Also, what are some good brokers we could work with?

Thanks!

My H1B extension was approved last week! Just want to throw out some positive vibes for everyone who’s still waiting on decision, and good luck!!!

Anyone in Virtusa got intimation about H1B lottery results?

Any idea what will be criteria for PDM to start green card process?

Would you rather stay in a boring job (good pay, good wlb, boring work) for a year and get your green card or switch to a better company and let the greencard go? The boring job is also does not have a lot of work in the pipeline.

Firm wants me to back pay last year FICA tax(Social Security and Medicare tax).
Last year I started working as F-1 and transition to H1b. Firm never withheld FICA tax.

Now they ask me to back pay last year FICA tax and then will send me W2c form.

The catch is I already file my tax without those FICA tax. Should I pay them and file tax amendment?

Heya, looking to get an entry level consulting/ finance role with ~3 YOE at APAC and an UG from a top English uni (think oxbridge, LSE, etc).

All I get from non-regional bowls are “London is fucked, brexit, Covid , companies are cutting people off rather than hiring blah blah”; but how is it actually looking for the people who are actually in the game? I have a uk passport btw so visa is not an issue

Hi Folks, I'm looking for supply chain consulting role in UK. Preferably in digital transformation.

Fish on visa - do you put ‘Candidate requires sponsorship’ on your resume ? I feel it is a time waste to get interview calls and anticipation only to find out they don’t sponsor on the call.

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
