I am currently a Manager on H1b visa with a valid i140. If I were to go outside USA and work in managerial capacity for 1 year and come back on h1b visa into USA again, would I be able to upgrade to Eb1c later on? Or do I need to return on L1 to do this?

Hi All-
Need a suggestion. H1 maxing out in sept 2021.
Got a job offer from small consulting firm (<200 people) and they are ready to file my GC from day1. About to resign in next couple of weeks once I receive my h1 approval.
But Deloitte sent a notification that they are restarting Perm process. Currently with Deloitte - nothing has been filed. They have the JD and all the documents from my side but haven’t filed pwd yet. Stay or move out .?

After you accepted an offer form a Big 4, how long does it takes them to file for your H1b? Assuming registration is open

Deloitte folks, My H1 transfer is currently being prepare by the lawyer and they suggested recruiter to push back my starting date. Should I assume they will co-operate and adjust my start date?
