Like processing time? 15 calendar days if you pay for premium processing. About 6 months or so with regular processing. Maybe less.

Questions for PwC and EY 🐠. Do they file premium processing for H1B transfers?

Desi folks on visa, my company is preparing to file for perm to start GC process. I have over 11 years of work ex and have an approved I140 from previous company. This company’s immigration firm is asking for a VERY specific work experience letter from previous employers. For the most part I have got it from them but these guys are looking line by line from the job description and wants everything on the letter. I think this is too much and being nit picky plus no employer would even give what..

BIA Briefs: I’m an associate at an immigration law firm. I determined that immigration isn’t for me So I gave the managing partner my 2 weeks. He wants me to wrap up some BIA briefs before I leave however I’m reviewing the record for a lot these and I’m seeing that a lot of the arguments for Asylum, Withhold, and CAT are incomplete. How I’m going to argue that the IC abused its discretion or misapplied the law when we made a facially insufficient argument for relief?

US immigration question. Green card interview date was cancelled in March 2020. It’s been a whole year of just waiting for a reschedule date, so the I-485 is transferable (e.g. to another state, another employer). Has anyone transferred their i-485 to another employer? What was that process like? Would my process start from the interview phase? How did you prove that the next job was in the same category? Please mention if you did the process before or during the pandemic. Thanks so much.
