Hi everyone, I’m on STEM OPT starting from this July (24 months) and didn’t get selected for H1B after first 2 attempts. I still have 2 more chances.

However, I would like to ask if there’s any cases you can apply for Green Card on F1 OPT, provided that I am in a managerial role and I was born in a country that has pretty short green card queue. I understand I’m not allowed to leave the US until my gc result is out.

Where do you find the time to get everything done in the day when you have multiple partners, associates and equity partners that interrupt you and want things turned around immediately while simultaneously working on deadlines?

I work until 7p at least every night. Top 10 family law firm.

I firmly believe leadership makes the difference.

Not only, it highlins each one's value, but especially spreads this value among others.
I'm speaking about life, in a broad sense, which also include work life, but it is not limited to that.

Looking for any kind of suggestion to improve my leadership: books, experiences, attitudes, daily-routine, ...

Thank you!

Is there a way of bypassing the H1B lottery? I was told by an external recruiter that if I joined their London team, after a year I could go through H1B process without the lottery.

Anybody with a priority date of mid-late 2015 that is considering switching jobs? I have an offer that I was about to sign, but saw that priority dates for filing in EB2 are already at sep 2014 this April.
