How do you choose your immigration attorney? I have 2 options, Option A) 5star reviews, asking 8k total, 1st consultation was great but kinda cold. He didn't pressure me to sign a contract and his quote don't expire in x amount of days. He said we can start whenever I feel ready.

Option B) 4.6star reviews on Google, asking 5k total, attorney was great but for pricing she has a "business development representative" and she was being too pushy and gave me 2 weeks to keep that price.

Option A 100%. If an attorney has a business development rep doing that run far away.

Great points! Thank you!

I moved to the Netherlands 3 months ago on a spouse visa. Was working with EY-P earlier. I have been applying to jobs and giving interviews but for some reason things are not working out. I get a different reason everytime (after going through the whole process). This has never happened earlier in life and now I don't know what else to do. I have worked as a strategy consultant (& a researcher). Should I change lines? Where else can I try?
I can't apply to boutique firms since Dutch is mandatory

How flexible is Deloitte with the start date because of H1b processing time? I signed the offer mid-may for July 12 because it seemed realistic enough for premium H1b transfer. But the lawyers seem slower than what I was used to and July 12 does not seem likely. Is this going to be a problem?

Hi Everyone - Need some insights. My PERM process was started by company in Feb’22 (currently awaiting wage determination, submitted to DOL in May’22). Its been months and DOL is working on requests from Jan’22. My H1B expires for good in Oct’23 (with all the recapture). Is there any chance I’ll have my PERM completed by then? For those of you who have been through this process, what was the overall timeline like?. Appreciate any insights you can help provide! TY!

I just accepted an offer this Tuesday. Wanted some insight on how soon Deloitte starts the immigration process after signing the offer. Have not heard anything till now. Joining is last week of March.
