I am changing status from F1 to H1B and my 60 day grace period ends on 7/23. I had a start date of 7/20 and my H1B was approved on 6/15. However haven’t received approval notice and employer insists I cannot begin without approval notice. Will I start accruing unlawful presence beginning 7/23 even if I have an approved petition beginning 7/20?

Hi everyone, hoping and wondering if I could get any help with the deal memo part for O1 ? It’s hard explaining the recruiters about it.

I lived and worked in the US for 5 years with H1B. I currently live outside. I still have my US credit cards and bank account open. Will it cause me any trouble in the future? should I close them all? The reason I don't want is I want to keep my money in the US.

Hi everyone, I am looking for advice on getting to the same company but in a different country. I had an internship at multinational FMCG company in purchasing in country 1 (5 ys ago). I then went studying abroad to country 2 and stayed doing the jobs which came with the visa - sales/accounting/marketing but all for really small companies (20 e-s max). I keep dreaming about getting back to FMCG co but in country 2. Applied directly/chatted to ex coworkers in country 1 - no luck. Any advice?

Anyone here waiting for a Family Based Green Card, my lawyer filed it last September 2021. It’s 14 months now… still waiting.

Just wanted to know if anyone of you got it earlier than 2 years?

Saw this while searching —
“In most cases, it takes about two years for a green card to become available, and the entire process takes around three years. It can take slightly longer for citizens of Mexico, China, India, and the Philippines.”

On a brighter note — Got my EAD March 2022.
