Has anyone had a experience where the H1B application processing time went beyond the 15 day period (in case of premium processing) and USCIS return the extra premium processing fee? Just asking to understand if it’s fair to assume I will get an adjudication in 15days after lawyers filed with USCIS

Yes, this is possible but unlikely at present. You can try to file premium processing again with another fee. I would speak with you legal counsel for more details.

Hi everyone,

I was affected by layoffs about a month ago and urgently looking for a good immigration lawyer. The lawyer should be experienced in handling this 60 day grace period situation and developing alternate strategies - such as change of status to B1/B2 or applying to jobs from India. There is a lot of noise and wrong information going in the market so looking for good recommendations. 

I have very little time left for my grace period to end and need a consultation soon. Thanks

I’ve been reading more about how there’s a difference between how men socialize and how women socialize at work.

Women however are more likely to separate their work friends and their social friends. I think I fall in this group. Cont in comment
