Hi Everyone - Need some insights. My PERM process was started by company in Feb’22 (currently awaiting wage determination, submitted to DOL in May’22). Its been months and DOL is working on requests from Jan’22. My H1B expires for good in Oct’23 (with all the recapture). Is there any chance I’ll have my PERM completed by then? For those of you who have been through this process, what was the overall timeline like?. Appreciate any insights you can help provide! TY!

Planning to go back to India for my H1B visa stamping (in New Delhi). Any potential risk of denial during stamping? My most recent H1B extension had an RFE that got cleared. Pretty nervous

Not sure if this is the right forum but - my H1B extension has been approved (just got to know today) but my driving license will expire soon. Can my license be renewed without the original extension petition? Or do I need to wait for the originals to come in. Trying to understand what do I need to carry to the DMV. Based in CA. Couldn’t find a lot of info online, appreciate any help and advice!

And to throw into the mix, my lease is up so will be shifting to a new address soon.

Fishes, need some guidance.

What would ensue if I convice US talent recruitment team that I have US H1B visa and get my offer letter released, and then apply for US Visa?

Is this some sort of scam/crime?

Thoughts?

Congrats to W+K on winning Visa creative strategy (thanks AdWeek for the news 👀)! I saw they are leading the account out of PDX office. Anyone in the know if they’ll be hiring not just for the new win but in general?

Hi Fisher ,

Does Deloitte sponsor H1Bs? The website says they don’t sponsor, so slightly confused as I see people here posting about having offers and will be soon going though H1B process. For context I am not in the USA.

Hello guys!
Does anyone have an idea about the time it takes to process work visa for Montreal, Canada?

I'm a Canadian on the TN visa working in the US and planning on maxing my Roth IRA (6k) and will have enough left to max my 401k this year, but am not sure if I should just use a taxable account over 401k due to tax considerations when I move back to Canada (likely 1-2 years from now). Any thoughts here? I don't think I'll have enough RRSP room to move 401k>IRA>RRSP and I would prefer to not have to file US taxes every year in retirement for withdrawls if I left the 401k in the US.

Any Vietnamese fish got H1B stamp recently? Mine is only valid for 1 year which I'm wondering why. Not having to worry about renewing it every year when I travel abroad is nice :(

Anyone did a H1B transfer recently using premium processing ? Trying to understand timelines

I have an approved I140 from previous employer and current employer hasn’t started GC yet. Been on H1B since 10 years now, so if my new GC doesn’t start before my H1B is up for approval in 2023 cont.

How are the appointments looking like for H1B- first time stamping (interview waiver) ? Are we getting dates in Delhi for month of June-July?

Hi Fishes,🐠🐟🐬🦈🐳🐋🐡
Let's hear about your journey, how did you land in US/UK/EU/Canada etc. from India? preferably direct hire with Visa sponsorship.
Pls do share company name & country, Job portals.
Also it would be great to hear some do's and don'ts

First time H1 stamping. Looks like there are no visa interview dates in any of the consulates. Has anyone got their H1 stamped in Iceland /Maldives or any other country?

We know our students the best, so what’s your best substitute lesson plan?

My dilemma… I am an injury adjuster at a carrier experiencing high inventory that’s barely manageable. A competitor offered a higher salary and manageable workload. BUT, I would like to get into underwriting. I applied for UW position w/ a different carrier and they’ve made an offer. It’s lower than my current salary and significantly lower than what I’d make by taking the first offer. Do I take the high salary and stay in claims or go for UW in hopes it will be best in long run?

Hoping to make the switch from London to the US, I’m a UK citizen. Seems most companies are stating that they won’t sponsor visas in their job postings. Currently no transfer opportunities globally on our internal systems either. Do you have any insight on why this might be / when companies may start sponsoring visas again? Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

My PERM is filed in October 2021 and H1B is maxing out in May (18) 2022. What are the options for me now? What are the positive chances? Please suggest if anyone would have any idea.

Hi all,
Are H1B results out? Did anyone hear from their immigration teams?

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. My preference is to remain with Deloitte and transfer - can Deloitte put me through without the lottery? Are there stipulations such as minimum tenure or degree types etc?

Is it standard to get revocation notice for H1B petition from older employee after transfer and approval of the petition with new employer? Has anyone here faced it before or know what does that mean?

Any firms or companies hiring now that don’t take forever with their green card process? My H1B ends in September 2024 and EY is not making meaningful progress on my perm process. Looking for roles that require really strong financial modeling and analytics skills.

Hello,

The immigration firm(for the new company I’ve accepted offer from) reached out with a link to put in my details for H1 transfer. They specifically mentioned that they won’t support dependent immigration.
My wife is on H4, how do I go about her immigration requirements? Does she need a transfer or amendment on current visa once I get my visa transferred?
Thank you

Do you agree the US Immigration process needs to change Y/N only

Long does it take to switch from L1B to L1A visa? (Promoted to Manager). Nothing done yet. Any experiences?

Anybody know how soon after your interview is the Oath Ceremony held? Specifically for NY/NYC. Thanks!!!

Any intel how to apply H4 visa within US?
The DS160 is not giving an option to select US as location.

Anyone else got told that they don’t meet the work experience requirements for their PERM role? Have less than 2 years left on my H1B until the 6 year max and don’t know my options. Our immigration team has not been responsive or helpful.
