Pay for it. I did and totally worth every penny to avaoid the stress. Got the approval in 10 days vs. waiting for 10 months ...

Takes 9-11 months. Pay for it!

I would highly recommend you pay for it

Is your priority date current? That would make sense, either way I still recommend

Which firm is that?

Deloitte

application already submitted in regular processing now. ☹️
Texas center wait times are 3.5-6months. Guess I'll just have to wait

The lawyers already submitted the petition under regular processing. USCIS webpage says 3.5-6 months is current wait time

Can I still pay for premium processing?

I think you can upgrade, that shouldn’t be an issue

You’ll just need your immigration team to submit an additional form with the check

Thanks. I just sent my lawyers an email. Let's see. I think it's worth the money.

Go PP

I didn’t do premium and my priority date was current.... FML

HR is scheduling the interviews without checking time with me. One interview was scheduled and then it was rescheduled to a different time at last minute. I wasn't available at that time so I mailed the HR for a different slot. They again scheduled it for a later date without checking the time with me.

Is this new job DOA? I’ve been in my new role 6 weeks after interviewing extensively and getting 5 offers and thinking back on those offers I turned down. I picked this company bc I liked their product and the manager, but I’m already feeling 1. REALLY silo-ed . Not a collaborative environment (even though I’m perfectly capable of doing my own thing.)Like I have entire days I don’t talk to anyone 2. Can’t seem to get my boss’s attention on my priorities that truly should be huge company issues

Went through multi-day loop for L5 SA and felt confident in my interactions. Presentation went well with no lack of answers for follow up questions. Just found out 6 days later I will not be receiving an offer, and it is policy to not provide feedback of gaps or reasons behind no offer. Also found out they ask you not to reapply for 1 to 2 years for same role. Would anyone recommend an alternate path for feedback on interview (outside of recruiter) and is the 1-2 year policy true?

Hi fishes,
Need your thoughts.
I am done with my client interview and it went well but they are asking me to come to gugaon location.
I am from Bangalore location.
I directly said to client that I can't since I have my family here.
When I inform this to my manager he is saying how come u say like this to client.according to kpmg policy u need to travel to anywhere to work.
This is not good right. What should be my reply to the client in such a case and how to handle manager on this?
