Hi EY fish. I am currently on H1-B. What is the green card policy for Senior Consultants? What is the earliest I can have the firm initiate the process if I got hired?

Can we do GLG type calls while on H1b? I get a lot of these requests but not sure if we are allowed to do this.

Has anyone had success claiming for unemployment benefits while on H1B? For data point, I’m in NY and I received a request for documents showing work authorization and sent back EAD, SSN, copy of H1B stamp and I797. Case is still processing.

Hi Fisher ,
Can anyone guide me or provide the link for how to get job visa for UK or Europe from India, as I am getting job opportunities in UK but they are asking work visa for UK as the company where I am applying are not eager to sponsor my visa?

About to file 485 in 3 months, is it worth it to do H1b stamping now or just wait??

Can I teach a class in a college and get paid on H1b without telling my sponsor (Deloitte)?

Ranting on H1B transfer process: LCA submitted for approval on January 6th. Still haven’t heard anything. My start date is 2/22/2021 but I really can’t wait to submit my notice...oh the waiting game...

How many days would I be able to stay If I Country if I quit (not fired) my job that I have a h1b for? Moving to Canada and need some time to close up shop here.

Hi All :) I need advise on whether it is possible to get my first time H1B stamped at a US consulate in Canada ? I am required to travel to Canada anyway for my PR stamping and I am trying to figure out if I can get my H1B stamped around the same time while I am in Canada for my PR, since it is extremely difficult to get appointments in India these days? I am currently based in US. Thanks!

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?

ACN 🐠- Has anyone been able to transfer from Big 4 or any other firm to ACN and got them to transfer H1B? I have an approved I140 if that helps.

Hi Fishes,
I am currently working as a presales consultant in Data & Analytics practice. I am looking to move to Canada or Uk. Can someone advise how to look for jobs and visa sponsorship?

Need advice. Currently at $142k base. 3 years and 1 month left before I max out of H1b. Just got my PWD issued through current employer though their immediate reaction is subtly letting me know they’re not in a hurry to start recruitment. Got an offer today for $160k base. Similar role, both are good teams, etc. Do I politely decline and see my GC process through or accept and get more money? Feel like current employer will drag their feet as long as they can for retention purposes.

Thread to discuss TC, yoe and level for H1B holders. I can go first 192K, 15 yoe and M3. MCOL city.

Hello Fishes,
I am much stressed.. it’s only been 5 months to join Capgemini. I joined in as cyber security consultant with good package.
However, the work I do the tricks, logics and solutions I share with team to apply in the project… all are of no use when discussed with the architect guy. The whole team rely upon the wordings/solutions suggested by him only. It feels like my skill/knowledge and experience is of no use.
I feel like what am I doing here….? Any suggestions please.

Need Suggestion.

I am the only developer in my team and my manager has assigned me a project in which I need to create a tool from scratch although that is currently running in production build by third party and we don't have access to that code.

I am on notice period and I am 100% sure that project won't be completed before my LWD.

What should I do, I asked him to put some extra team members but he didn't agree, seems like he will add extra team members 2-3 weeks before my LWD.

Need good return
Blocking period can be of 5-7 years..

I’m curious about your career path, day in the life, do you enjoy it? Would love to connect!

Last week I had to explain to my child what “politics” (as in office politics) is. My child is going to a new high school and wants to play volleyball. There was a 3 day open “tryout” for incoming freshman for 2 teams. After the first day, she noticed that
1) there were obvious favorites (coaches are not even hiding that fact);
2) some can’t even play and got on the team,
3) some that can obviously play but did not get on the team;
4) decision were obviously made before the first day was over.

Was there any market correction that Accenture did for Strategy & Consulting employees recently? If yes how much was that?

I was reading a post in another group that asked how folks were celebrating Diwali outside of India and 2 people mentioned that their whole street (in the US) exchanged sweets, put up lights, and pitched in for a community firecrackers permit. This had me wondering if this happened in the US for Eid as well in cites where there is a big Muslim population. Also, how do you all celebrate Eid? For folks who are grew up in the west, is there anything you plan on doing differently with your kids?

Since we are all WFH, some of my fellow countrymen have headed home and work US hours. Anyone doing this? I know technically not supposed to but these are weird times.

Other than citizenship, are there any other benefits of having a baby in the US vs in India? My wife and I may not be settling in the US, depending on what we decide over time. With that in mind, my wife is siding towards having the baby in India. When I checked online, I don’t really see any benefit except for the citizenship. Any inputs appreciated :)

Can I teach a class in a college and get paid on H1b without telling my sponsor (Deloitte)?

EY law question - Checked the online portal and it seems like petition is ready to be sent to me but lawyers have stopped responding. Any idea what might be going on? (H1B1 Consular processing)

First time stamping soon. US consulate website said I need to bring LCA but my colleague who did it said she didn’t. Any experience and thoughts on what to bring? Thanks 🐠

Happy Ganesh Chathurthi! May Lord Ganesha destroy all your Visa issues and fill your life with love and happiness!

Is there a diff between starting GC process with FAANG or Big 4? Is the specialty occupation a concern in the GC process? Appreciate any insights!

Hi Everyone, I'm a refugee in the U.S. Work permit granted by the Gov. Have extensive (non-tech) work experience in my country. Is it possible to relaunch my career even with an entry-level job? Possible obstacles and solutions to overcome?

Constantly thinking why I chose US to study and have worked here for several years. Visa is such an issue for long term career move. Might have choose Canada or Australia...

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?

I quit my job and am going back to home country. What is the fastest way to transfer $100k from the US to a country in Asia?

How transparent is your firm about your H1B application? Do you get your application receipt number? I’ve worked really hard to get this job and made a lot of life changing decisions and worried about losing all this just because my application isn’t picked in lottery🥺🙁.

My priority date is Dec 2012 in EB2. Is it worth waiting for US GC or apply and get Canadian PR in the next 6-12 months? Serious answers please.

Deloitte field my application for AOS, EAD, and I-131 concurrently in November. The online status for AOS changed to “case is ready to be scheduled for an interview” over 2 weeks ago. How much longer

Is anyone in this group spent 4 years in public accounting audit still waiting for his/her employer to start Labor petition perm process? I have only 2 years left with my h1b now, during this unprecedented time I am worried if the firm may not be willing to incur additional cost? Please let me know if anyone in this group have faced the similar situation?

If your current employer wants to move you from payroll of one company LLC to another affiliate LLC, is there any change needed to your H1-B visa?

Tax question: my SM changed my hours with a location I never worked at, from 2020. When I asked for a change, he is hesitant since it’s a long process. Would it cause any issue on visa if I filed a tax to a state I never worked in?

SO and I have finally saved $500k. Should we buy a house or a green card (Indian born on H1 in the US, I-140s approved)
