Hello,
I got an offer in Microsoft and they filed the H1b transfer petition to USCIS. But, the immigration team filed my petition under regular processing instead of premium. Not sure what’s the reason. Any idea in proceeding further! Thanks.

Just got made redundant today, it comes by surprise I didn’t really see it coming. Now I’m lost. And I’m on Singapore with working visa until christmas. I can’t go back yet. I am depressed.

Anyone filed h1b in regular processing and changed to premium? If so, can you please help with the process and approvals required?

Any possibility to transfer H1B approval from Infosys to new company? It is not yet stamped

Hi all,
Are H1B results out? Did anyone hear from their immigration teams?

So
- I didn't get selected in the H1B lottery.
- My company has agreed to send me to their London office for a year (haven't yet filed application).
- OPT ends in late June, so I can stay till mid-late August (grace period).

Question:
Should I just move to London as soon as I'm able to, or is it worth waiting until the end of my OPT in August in case they do a second round of the H1B lottery?

Heard second lottery results are coming out? Anyone heard from D immigration team? I know they are super slow
