Hi, I was recently affected my Meta layoffs on 02/10. I am on payroll until 05/14.
I am starting my H1B transfer at Amazon with Fragomen. Has anyone recently gone through an H1B transfer where the paystubs submitted to the new employer/immigration showed 0 hours worked (warn notice period), and if so, did that cause any issues—especially in cases where you hadn’t formally communicated your termination to them?

Hi all,

Any word on consulting or agency layoffs in Berlin?

Cleared first round and my on-site is next week. It just came to my notice something about visa sponsorship in JD. It states “This role is not eligible for immigration sponsorship.” I have H1B but I would need H1b transfer and GC sponsorship. Can anyone help me out here.

So
- I didn't get selected in the H1B lottery.
- My company has agreed to send me to their London office for a year (haven't yet filed application).
- OPT ends in late June, so I can stay till mid-late August (grace period).

Question:
Should I just move to London as soon as I'm able to, or is it worth waiting until the end of my OPT in August in case they do a second round of the H1B lottery?

Is sticking up for yourself even worth it? My boss is always on my ass as if I’m constantly missing, or about to miss, deadlines. I’ve never missed one. I’ve received the same damn lecture/email about monitoring all case deadlines a hundred times. I always just professionally explain that we’re not about to miss any and discuss the progress. Well, I’ve about had it and am ready to go off. I’m sick of basically being told that I’m not doing my job. How should I address this issue?
