Hey! Just got my EB1A "Extraordinary Ability" visa (basically a Green Card) approved. Took me two years. Did all by myself. Planning to move in Feb/March 2026. I know it's a tough job market. Europe is even worse. But anyway, here we are.
Any solid recruiters? People to reach? Network advice? What's the best time of the year and the worst to reach out in NYC? I'm in Europe now, and I'm starting the job search online. I'd be happy to connect via Dm's as well. Any help will do!

Currently on H1B and waiting for an offer from EY. Does EY kick start with green card process quickly in special cases. HR said normally it is 1 yr but he has to check with legal team. More inside..

Amex Platinum or Chase Sapphire?

Deloitte folks, please share your experience on the green card process. Did it go smoothly?

Silicon Valley Bank or American Express.
AmEx paying slightly less than SVB.
Yoe: 8
Skill: ServiceNow

What is a reasonable pay increase + bonus? This will be my first pay increase. I make 70k and I will be starting my second year at big law (immigration). I had 2 years of prior experience before joining the firm. My manager rated me highest in all areas and mentioned she recommended me for promotion but it may not happen until next cycle since there are limited number of promotions to give. I will get a pay increase regardless so I want to negotiate in case I don’t get a “good” increase.

H1B stamping query: Anyone know what is the latest status on visa stamping in a 3rd country? eg I am from India but can I get my stamping in UK? This was stopped due to covid but can’t find any information on if the ban still stands

folks on H1B - have you worked remotely from outside of the country, but not your home country? is this legal?

Can a company apply for an h1b transfer if I’m not in the country ? Im planning to travel internationally and expecting the h1b transfer process to be initiated the same time…

Mental Health, inherited or choice? I am finding myself struggling with processing that ADD, Depression, or Bipolar is a chemical imbalance in the brain vs. behavioral therapy. The best analogy given to me is you would treat diabetics with insulin so why not consider prescriptions to help mental health. 2020 has thrown more at me than I’m able to handle. Has anyone here noticed a significant improvement after a prescription to help psych issues?

Dads with older children: while raising your children, did your children prefer their moms over you? I know some will prefer dads over moms, but I assume majority of children out there will prefer their moms over dads… I have one child and it kinda hurts to see my child always preferring the mom over me. I know I shouldn’t feel this way, but I just do. How did you cope with such issue raising your children?

Recently interviewed at Adobe, it was great. Even the senior designer I was connected with escalated it a lot. But then suddenly after the last interview, I haven’t heard in a week from them even after multiple follow ups. Recruiter said she will reach out on Monday, but even Tuesday passed now. Should I wait a week or move on for other offers?
