How long does it typically take to get a receipt after filing I-140 using premium processing, i.e., does it actually take 2-3 weeks? If so, do you file I-485 along with your I-140 or once it is approved? And at which stage can I extend my H1B for an unlimited period of time until GC is approved? TIA!

After two years of studying for the lsat, working, finishing up undergrad, going through a mental crisis or two and moving three times, I have decided to step away from the path of becoming an Immigration lawyer (I’m in my 30s). I’m mentally spent and already have a lot of undergrad debt. But I still really want to help in this area, especially assist refugees, asylum seekers, and working/advocating to change some laws if possible.

Have you seen examples of those with L1-B visa changing the employers? I know that L1 visa broadly ties you to your sponsor employer, so in case you are laid off / want to switch jobs; pretty much you are asked to leave the states; so was wondering if there are workarounds to that end.

What is the impact of the wage level changes? Is this effective today? My I-140 and LCA says I'm on Wage level 3/4, but I don't think I'm paid much higher than the PW. At least not to the level of 78th and 95th percentile.

My H-1 lasts for another 3 years, but what would this mean to me if
1. I'm renewing my H-1 at the end of 3 years
2. Apply for a new LCA for client work

If there is a sought after Director for a practice being built up at PwC. Has there ever been a time that a director can go straight to partner if they have an external offer that is quite compelling ?

Basically that offer would be 1st year partner salary and build off that ? Or PwC likes to stick to it's process and only other option is down the road consider direct Admit partner?

My H1B is not selected in the second lottery. The next lottery is the only option of getting selected. My STEM-OPT will expire in May 2023. I have some questions 1) If H1B gets selected will I be able to work till October 1st (which is when H1B status gets changed) ? 2) My wife will file her I140 in Feb 2023 can she also file H1 EAD along with it? 3) worst case scenario should I enroll in for day 1 CPT program?

I received H1B RFE on specialty occupation and I have B. Tech electronics back ground. In the education evaluation form, how can I prove that my course work is related to analytics work I am doing 😔

Any PwC Tech Consulting 🐟 with H1-B RFE here?

Since we’ve been remote since last year, I took the opportunity to travel nationally and get my job done. I was recently informed that I cannot work outside the MSA of the address (Chicago) mentioned in my H1B and hence just returned back to Chicago. However, I’m trying to figure out my Thanksgiving and Christmas plans, and would like to travel to another state and work from there for a couple weeks. Is there a maximum time period during which I can work outside of Chicago? Thank you.

@Deloitte fish who filed 485 last october, did any of you got an update on EAD yet?
Am hoping for my priority date to be current this October. What documents can I prepare in advance, I do not have the original birth certificate and heard an affidavit can work in lieu of it. Does BAL provide the format for it?

After how long you can change job after I-140 approval and EAD AP card received for I-485? Pending 485 approval and GC
