Hi guys, a plea for help here 🙏🏻 have any founders here gotten an O-1 visa or an H1B transfer into their startup? Would greatly appreciate hearing your advice / experience over DM

I am done trying to pretend everything is fine at work. The higher ups on the team kept asking if I’m doing anything fun for the weekend during video calls. I felt the pressure to make something up but I just can’t. I’ve been struggling with depression, loneliness, anxiety with immigration and the fact that I might be out of work soon cuz my visa is expiring. I’m thousands of miles away from my family and I just want everything to stop. But when my manager kept asking in front of everyone am I

Wanted to understand what happens in FAANG companies if H-1b visa runs out and there is no I-140 in place to extend visa beyond 6 years. Do they transfer the employee to a non-US office E.g. Canada? Does anyone here been through this scenario?

Trump just signed an EO banning any new work visas. As someone on a work visa, I am going through Twitter to find more information and I couldn’t believe the amount of hate I am seeing in this country for legal immigrants. As co-workers, do you guys really think that immigrants are stealing your jobs?

Anyone have trouble getting in contact with Deloitte’s immigration team? They never seem to respond over email. Is there another way to reach them?

I applied for a job at Visa and was contacted the same day. A few days later I had a 30-minute screening interview with the hiring manager. I knew I was very early in the process since the job had only been posted for a few days. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back, even after reaching out to the recruiter. Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?

Anyone on board the H1B 2023 train? How long does BAL take to update the status if picked?

I have a job offer in Australia and the company is offering to apply for a TSS visa for me. But they can't give me any idea on timeline. I've heard anything from a month to 9 months. Has anyone here gone through this and knows how long it would take during Covid times?

Does really Collaboration work or it's just a myth. Always hearing from Offshore manager is that take more ownership like from offshore we should be working 80% and only 20% will leave for onshore because of time difference..

Is it really a collaboration or simply a cold War between offshore and onshore ownership..

Prepared for two month while working. Failed two MBB final rounds. Thinking about reapplying next year. How should I prepare myself for that in this one year?

What does it take to pass final rounds?

I did decently well on all components (framework, brainstorming, exhibits) but made 2 calculation mistakes with one interviewer… already anxious as I wait for news

How you came into the company will define your path. That’s why you’ll never be successful switching departments.

Would you say most in-house roles tend to hire from BigLaw?

How do you navigate when you've already accepted an offer, but you get a better one? I'm supposed to start a new role tomorrow but got an offer for the job I really wanted, and it pays 50k more. Is it horrible if I quit while having just started?

How long have you been in the EA world and what’s the biggest change you have seen in the EA arena over your career?

Do you present a creative treatment when you pitch a brand campaign idea?

Would you consider traveling for leisure this upcoming Labor Day holiday? As in flying to another state for a weekend fun?

Since we are all WFH, some of my fellow countrymen have headed home and work US hours. Anyone doing this? I know technically not supposed to but these are weird times.

I heard that Travel team will automatically file your extension processing in premium mode if your DL has expired? Is this true? Not looking for premium processing.

Wanted to understand what happens in FAANG companies if H-1b visa runs out and there is no I-140 in place to extend visa beyond 6 years. Do they transfer the employee to a non-US office E.g. Canada? Does anyone here been through this scenario?

Has anyone experienced delay in getting physical copy of the H-1B approval notice? The USCIS portal says - the case has been approved. Is it safe to join new firm based on approval notification?

What sort of roles can I get an H1b sponsored for? I have an MIS masters from a business school. Can I leverage that to apply for an H1b at a corporate or technical strategy role?

Has anyone requested for an experience letter from Deloitte for Canada PR? The automated letter doesn’t provide job responsibilities. I requested an exception and they want to know the reason for it.

1-140 premium processing, it took 2 business days to approve.

What happens in case your GC I-140 is approved with current employer and new employer don’t start GC process?

Can we do GLG type calls while on H1b? I get a lot of these requests but not sure if we are allowed to do this.

Eb1 I-Long term employee. International transferee.

What happens if I change firms before filing i-485 (before it is pending for more than 6 months)? Do I need to apply for eb2 or eb1 again?

After you accepted an offer form a Big 4, how long does it takes them to file for your H1b? Assuming registration is open

What happens when you don’t receive any decision before October 1st from USCIS? My H1 is selected in the lottery but there has been no response at all after it. I am on valid F1 btw

When transferring H-1B, how do we know the case number besides receiving the physical copy of receipt notice from USCIS, which might be 2 weeks + since filing petition?

SO and I have finally saved $500k. Should we buy a house or a green card (Indian born on H1 in the US, I-140s approved)

Can the H1-B extension be filed when I am not physically in the US ? I am currently impacted by the travel ban and not sure if I will be able to travel to the US before the current visa/petition expiry.

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?

How transparent is your firm about your H1B application? Do you get your application receipt number? I’ve worked really hard to get this job and made a lot of life changing decisions and worried about losing all this just because my application isn’t picked in lottery🥺🙁.
