Moving to which company? Reason I ask is cuz some companies can afford to wait while others cant

The best way I would say is to stay in touch with HR every now and then to confirm if they still remember you! Technically i would imagine they would hold there end of bargain especially if it is a decent sized company and they brought you in/made offer knowing this timeline.

Also does not hurt to stay connected with the folks that you interviewd with just to keep things warm. Don’t overkill just keep their memory alive that you exists!

Could use some help with an awkward dynamic.

My Dept has been tapped to help another dept promote a DEI study. The client dept has hired a consultant in this area. The challenges I see with this consultant's work style:

-dominating conversations
-micromanaging things outside her area
-steering things toward her own promotion over our company's agenda
-people in my dept (mostly white) are visibly uncomfortable and reluctant to interrupt or contradict her (black woman)

How long is EB2 now for Chinese?

US immigration question. Green card interview date was cancelled in March 2020. It’s been a whole year of just waiting for a reschedule date, so the I-485 is transferable (e.g. to another state, another employer). Has anyone transferred their i-485 to another employer? What was that process like? Would my process start from the interview phase? How did you prove that the next job was in the same category? Please mention if you did the process before or during the pandemic. Thanks so much.

Alternative is wait till Jan and see if EO expires and H4 can be stamped back home in a matter if a week.
