How do I qualify for a waiver of the interview when renewing the H1B in the same US consulate where I originally got the visa? Context: Italian, renewing the H1B that is expiring this summer.

How do you feel about getting homework for jobs?

We're altering our interview process to eliminate a homework assignment we give to candidates. It's about 2 hours of varying difficulty questions.

The VP wants to replace it with a 1 hour pair programming exercise because he thinks experienced candidates won't bother with homework. A lot of my experienced colleagues would be fine with the homework as long as it was within reason.

What's the consensus? Homework or nah?

How much time they take to schedule interview.

Who's ready for another round of snow this weekend?

I have a good belief to believe I, and others of my kind are being systemically discriminated against at work. There was a particular incident recently that affected me. I am the in house employment counsel for the company - and now feel like I am in a weird position. Can I file an EEO complaint against my client, or do they just get to do whatever they want to me? Obviously outside counsel would need to be hired, and a wall put up. Looking for info thanks.

What are people’s thoughts/feelings on the out-of-office/auto-reply when an atty’s attention is focused on one matter (I.e. “I’m in a full day hearing, so my response will be delayed”). My initial reaction was: you’re not really out. You’re still doing your job, your job at the time just happens to be exclusively one case.

For those filed AOS in Oct (mine was 10/26), did anyone receive biometric letter or EAD/AP, or basically anything beyond the receipt notices?

I acknowledge that someone may still not have received the receipt notices yet, so hopefully they will come very soon!
