Has anyone here had their H1B visa stamped in Canada for a change of status (F1 to H1B)? Did you encounter any issues?

I did it in 2006 at Vancouver post. No issues at all. The officer and I actually shared stories and jokes.

However, a person I know got stuck for couple of months.

🤷🏽‍♂️ its anyone guess whom you will meet on that day

You may be able to get it but it's a significant risk to get stuck in a foreign country. If the visa is denied, the person has to change plans and make a trip to India, apply for visa again, and then come back to US.

I came into a hedge fund job as an analyst in February of this year and didn’t negotiate my bonus at the outset. I was coming from tech and needed a green card so didn’t have much room to do so.

With bonus season coming up, I have a feeling my PM is going to underpay me. Should I bring up the subject myself? Also, how do I get a sense of what I’m worth? I did not trade but was the main data guy and built a tool that is indispensable for our process. Is 10% of his cut of PnL reasonable?
