Hi Team I am on L1 visa and when i arrived in US, immigration officials submitted my original I129s and gave me a copy. Did anyone face similar situation as I have to leave for India and then return back. I asked my attorney and they told me that officials can keep your original I129s

So? Of the attorneys have confirmed, what is it that you want to know. The buck stops with attorney dude.

Yep thanks. But attorney wont be with me during my immigration interaction, hence i wanted to know if its fine or not and i can enter

i kept all originals with me, gave only scan copies to my lawyers

Hi thank you, but in my case i got only 1 signed I129s back after visa interview and that the immigration officials at airport collected. And they gave me a scanned copy back. So i was asking that can i use the scanned copy to return back to US?

Should this not be the focus from HR side to get a seat allocated rather than pushing employees to report to a random office that have a seat.?

And On top of that we have to take care of our own commute even when we are in shifts.

Why is this unprofessional and unethical behaviour?
Why is an employee responsible for everything which the HR and PMO is supposed to do??
