How do I change from OPT to H1-B if I’m not comfortable in leaving the country?

Hi Fishes, I will be joining Capgemini, Gurgaon this October. I reside in East delhi. I have a couple of questions regarding the Cabs they provide.

1. How much time/ days does the transport team usually take to align cab for new resource?

2. My HR gave me a vague idea that it might take 2-3 days for the same. So, can I ask her or if you guys have any ideas, if I am eligible to get reimbursements for travelling on my own or booking an uber?

Please tell. Thanks!

How long would I expect to wait for a lateral hire decision after a super day? I know it’s a bit different than university hires because super days are pretty structured and done with all candidates around the same exact time, so I’m wondering if I should expect to wait a few days or weeks.

What are the type of engagements in A&M transactions advisory? Are they mostly pre-sign, or there is some sign to close work as well?

How do you deal with partners who always call, ask if you have a minute (which you don't) and proceed into a deep assignment that legit takes 40 min to explain, @ end you have no clue what task is...

Hello Fishes,
I have been offered Lead Software Developer G140 in IQVIA. How many years of experience needed for that role? How were the hikes in IQVIA for BI Tool projects last year/ this year? were there any firing in Pandemic?
And how is the flexibility in terms of changing technology/project. Current project work does not seem to be much challenging so can I ask for project change within a few months of joining if I find the work mundane?
Please help.

Hypothetical Q: My passport is up for renewal in next 6 months. Can I take an F1 visa interview date with old passport and arrive at consulate with new passport and new DS160 as well?

I hope to get some thoughtful responses from this post and nothing more.
I work for a mid-tier firm after working for big 4s, I joined here after being let go. Having worked for a year, I kind of have this constant thought in my mind that my next lay off is coming. Reasons I think I don’t meet the expectations- in a way my work quality is average. Given am on H1b and a family man, this constant thought of lay off is driving me so crazy that I fear might take me to depression. What should I do?

Can you start a non-profit while working on a full-time job on H1B?

Tax question.

Filling up the W-4 form and I'm not sure if I can declare my tax status as resident alien (qualify for the exemption?).

My wife and I arrived in the US earlier this month for work relocation. I know that I don't meet the substantial presence test but i also know that it's possible to be as a resident alien if some criteria are met.

Still waiting on any update from 1st time pick in the lottery. Anyone else in the same boat.?

I am indian with priority date of sept 2016, I-140 approved from prev emplyr and current employer just started the PWD process. So New perm filling looks like 6-8 months away + 6 more months for perm to get approved.
I am hearing that there are high chances the Filing date for both EB2/3 will move this year in Oct.
What should be my move then, should i go back to old employer and compromise on salary for 6 months.
OR
Stay with current emp and wait till next year to file I-149+i-485 concurrentl

Would appreciate input. Can a family member apply for a GC for their Indian born nephew? My research says yes but it would take forever. True? Does it help if sponsoring family member is US citizen?

Hi everyone, my situation: currently on 12 months OPT, expiring in Sep 2021, also have a stem extension for 2-years. Got picked in h1b lottery in the second round. I also got a new job offer this week. My question: Can my potential new employer file for h1b petition that was picked in lottery which was submitted by my current employer? If yes, is it a feasible option? What are my safe options in this case if I want to take the new job?
Thank you for your guidance!

H1b denied. I guess it's time to go back home. Does D. Help facilitate transfers to USI?

When are the employers required to pay you the wage as it is determined in prevailing wage determination? Starting of the submission of 9089 form or when you get the green card?

My PWD amount came twice my currently salary and the lawyer asked me to have a talk with my employer regarding raising my salary so when I apply for I-140, the shortfall between my pay and PWD is less. Has anyone gone through this experience?

Anyone stamped their H-1 extension recently? How long does it the whole process take? Heard it’s taking more than a couple of weeks now to get your stamping/passport back.

Do companies sponsor entry-level employees for green cards? Not necessarily fresh out of college, but with 1-2 years of experience, can I ask my company to do that for me or would it be hard for them to prove that there are no qualified US employees for my position?

When will Deloitte resume filings for green cards?

Is there any probability that the US might close their borders due to Covid-19 in the near future? (Currently on a visa and thinking of traveling abroad for the holidays)
