Hey folks, two quick questions:

1. Do I have to necessarily go to a consulate in my home country for stamping my H1B for the first time (I’ve had it for 3 yrs but have never gone till now)?
2. Do you know if consulates in India (Delhi) are open yet and accepting appointments? Thanks so much…

I'm working in the US under H1B, I got a chance to face an interview for another company. My current company started the PERM application also and results will be out within the next 3 months. Is it okay to transfer my H1B to a new company? Can my H1B transfer be denied? How long will my green card application delay if I move to a new company and start to apply for a green card from scratch?

Got my H1B last year but haven’t had it stamped. Can I still change my company and then get it stamped? Have filled out DS160 and paid stamping fees already. would appreciate any insight

Hey,
I’m on Opt visa currently and have to file for my Stem extension before next month. I have got an offer from an employer and about to join them in one week. My EAD card got lost recently unfortunately, will I still be able to join the company? What are the workarounds as I don’t have much time left on my Opt visa and have to file for my stem before next month.

What's the best consulting firms for H1B folks who have studied masters in STEM here? Got a cousin graduating this fall and he needs to know H1B/GC policies.

My American citizen 8 month old is on tourist visa in India; current stay runs out on June 7. Flying outside the country is a risk we don’t want to take w/COVID. Don’t want to overstay the visa either. So we applied online on eFRRO to convert his visa to X-1 so we can apply for his OCI. They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?

Is Visa a stingy company?

H1B visa stamped.

While applying for visa my company quoted 80K as compensation. Now they want to reduce it to 75K.

This feels like unfair practice. Is it common? What should be my approach?

Anyone who has/ heard of fbookers who successfully switched roles and gotten a promotion (L3 to L4)?

Context I am planning a switch from analyst to data scientist from a non US location to US. However, L4 is needed for this jump (prob due to visa issues). With the current revamp in PSC cycle, I am not sure if I can successfully get promoted by next year and make the jump. To do so, I heard there needs to be 2 EE (for this half and next half).

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?
