Not 100% sure , but they only care about being in US for couple days around your filing date. They want to make sure they can prove you were in US when the amendment was filed. Other than that till the time you current visa stamp is valid you should be good to travel. (My personal understanding but please confirm)

Agree. I am traveling next month to India. My visa extension is in progress

Thanks so much, guys!
My visa is valid until June 2020. Amendment was filed only last week and was worried if traveling will be an issue in such a case.

Amendment should not be a problem. People may say don’t travel when extension is in progress.

Just carry required documents. I work for PwC too. I don’t exactly remember if I travelled when amendement was in progress, but that may be a possibility as I filed amendments multiple times in past 4 years and travelled 3 times to India meanwhile..

Cleared first round and my on-site is next week. It just came to my notice something about visa sponsorship in JD. It states “This role is not eligible for immigration sponsorship.” I have H1B but I would need H1b transfer and GC sponsorship. Can anyone help me out here.

My fiancé and I are first time home buyers (both 28 yo) and would like to know what makes more sense: buying an expensive home or buying a lower cost one. Our combined income is around 400K but since we just began working post school, our savings are only $70K right now (also 30K in student loan debt). We’re buying in a high property tax state where taxes could be 4% (think 12K taxes on 600K home). Should we get a 500K house or get a 800K - 900K (which represents most I’m willing to spend)
