Hi All, need urgent guidance regarding my visa and re-entry situation. I am currently on F1 STEM OPT with a valid EAD card expiring in July 2027. I just received notice that I have been impacted by recent layoffs with immediate effect. The main issues is I am currently outside US on a 3 week approved vacation. What are my options to re-enter??

Isnit true that McKinsey Canada raised base by 10% for BA1 and BA2?

Hello, first post here. Outside sales, merchant services/card processing. I’m primarily a welder but I work 4 10-hour shifts typically then I try sales the last three days. I’ve done it long enough to where I’m confident and comfortable going to new businesses, establishing some rapport with business owners. But it seems like a lot of businesses see this as a waste of time, even adding services and cutting costs. I guess either I’m looking for advice or considering not doing this anymore.

We’ve been attending a church for about 6 months now and trying to decide if it’s our church home. The only reason I’m hesitant is because people don’t seem to engage with us as much as I expected. For example, I told the pastors wife about a serious diagnosis we recently received and she did pray for us on the spot, but no one has reached out to us at all to check in. Am I expecting too much?

My firm’s holiday party is on a weekday after work. I can just wear what I’d normally wear to work for that day, right?

PPMDs - how’s your weekend starting off....
F 🐠, what’s the quarantine weekend plan?

Hello Fishes,

I currently hold offers from below:
IBM - 15.5 LPA
CTS - 18.5 LPA
PWC India - 16 LPA
Oracle Financial Services Software(OFSS) - 21 LPA

Planning to join OFSS as I will work in product development team and can work in any shift timings with WFH.

Today I had my 2nd round interview with EY GDS and got rejected.
Do I need to worry about this and feel low?
Could EY GDS would have been better instead of OFSS?

Please provide your valuable inputs.

Have you tried encouraging cards highlighting their strengths? When’s the last time you said “Thank you” out loud to everyone in front of everyone? Bought lunch? Participated in a team building event? Encourage a team atmosphere and keep the lines of communication open. Just my thoughts

What is your agency’s maternity or paternity leave policy?

On interview days, do you take adderall / concerta? I’m nervous that it can make me seem more robotic / less personable during cases etc.

I've my eb3 priority date of April'19. In how many years could I possibly expect to get my GC realistically?

Got my PERM approved last week and just submitted all the docs for the I/140/485/combo cards. How long it takes for attorneys to file it now?

If you receive an RFE on the I485 while it has been pending for 180 days, does your new company attorney respond to the RFE? Assuming you switched companies after it has been pending for 180 days. Anyone experienced anything similar?

Does Deloitte file premium processing for h1b?

Hi Bowl, asking for help - Could anyone in marketing/customer strategy consulting share the JD that you submitted for the H1b application? Or is anyone willing to go over mine and give some thoughts? Any help would be appreciated!
Context: I work in strategy consulting but have a marketing background with coursework in marketing. Lawyer reached out for JD related to my marketing coursework.

I‘m considering an add-on degree in the US on top of my MBA from a leading Euro school, in order to be able to work in the US. My employer wouldn’t sponsor me, so no internal transfer! STEM or no STEM...still up in the air. Crazy idea or not? What do you think?

What companies easily start gc applications ?

If I get fired while on OPT without getting my H1-B stamped, is it useless or can it be used in future for some other job?

Has anyone recently applied and gone through the H1B process at Walmart? or is there anyone in this bowl who is at Walmart currently and had their H1b renewed recently.

Does anyone know which country’s U.S embassy is open to renew US visa stamp for H1B ? I know Canada closed the borders until May 31. Just wondering what other countries are good options now given the pandemic. Thanks.

If visiting home country after transfer approval, will I be eligible for drop box? I have my current employers stamped h1b visa valid till end of next year. Thanks

Just venting. College friend (same ethnicity but came to US with family as a kid) told me she might get a new job offer w a smaller firm, 50% pay bump. We currently work at comparable big firms but her pay is already higher than mine (hers include stocks, mine doesn’t). We did equally well in college & I know I’m just as smart. Can’t help but feel like my career’d have been much better if I did not need sponsorship. Smaller firms don’t sponsor so I work at a big firm but pay isn’t great 🙄

Hello all, I’m on my F1 visa right now. I have two more chances of getting H1 through lottery. After third,Does PwC supports sending me to my LOS in diff country and file me H1 or L1 visa from there?

I have approved I-140. Indian nationality so priority date not close to current. If I switch employer, does my employer need to apply for PERM and i140 again as soon as I join, to get H1B extensions?

Can H1B holders filed unemployment when serving grace period for 60 days? D provided information in Separate Memorandum?

Suppose your work for employer A. You get a job with employer B who files you H1-B transfer and you get fired by employer A before the transfer is approved. Does that have any effect on transfer?

How do you deal with a manager who expects 3 months of work overnight? I have tried structuring , creating a plan to show him how the activities are being executed. However, he seems to be someone who turns around every other hour to ask ‘Is it done’? I am usually pretty good at managing expectations but having a hard time conveying how unreasonable he is being. Despite being organized, I am coming across as scattered and jumbled since I have been working 15+ hours with no food and break daily

Are employers withdrawing i140 after employee quit even if the I140 was approved 3 years back. Wife is on H4EAD what is the impact if I140 is withdrawn?

Any Canadians here who were on TN that applied for GC? Any caveats to be aware of during the application process? How long did the whole process take for you?

Started the internal GC process in October 2018. Today I-485 status changed to "we ordered your new card." My jail free card is finally on the way I guess. Hope everyone with pending I-485 gets your GC soon!
