I am on H1b 4th year in the US and my prevailing wage determination was submitted in April and no decision has come yet. Mean time I am extremely frustrated with work and desperately wanting to change. Will it be too messy to quit in the middle of the process. Any pointers will be helpful

Your PWD should be coming along in a month or two

Next recruiting period for 90 days

Next submitting perm . You should hear back on perm within 6-9 months from submission date.

Followed by filing I-140 in premium which you should have result with in 15 days.

You have to stay employed with the employer for 6 months from date of i140 approval so that they cannot revoke i140.


It’s lengthy process my friend.

I’m on perm step and staying put for another year and I should say it is abuse at work.

Understand if you want to get out now and be at an employer (hopefully good one but who knows right) and deal with this process in the future

It’s a lengthy pro

Thank you for sharing and m sorry your work isn’t any better either😣

Same boat as a Canadian citizen, Indian born, moved on TN go H1b and now on perm, should have done l1 after a year in Canada. I have 20 years of experience and have to now deal with the crap. Don’t hate my job, but can’t look for 2 years at min until i140 approved. Further, my green card wait is 12 years lol..

Yes - need to go back to Canada, work for a year, can’t travel out to clients for 1 year consistently. Take pay cut etc etc.

Is it easier if I switch after perm and i140 gets approved ?

You need to complete 180 days from PERM approval date to ensure the firm doesn’t revoke your PERM.

Hi Everyone,

Need some inputs before making an important decision.
I have offer from Cognizant and they are promising that next quarter they will initiate my Canada visa. They are giving assurance when I spoke to them over call. Also, my current employer Accenture is also saying the same to retain me. Can I believe Cognizant? Also, Canada onsite is best in which company - Accenture or Cognizant. Please suggest based on your experience.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone here who has rescheduled several times their visa interview appointment w/ embassy outside US. Allowed to schedule twice w/o penalty. On the 3rd time, it needs to be cancelled. Does yours say to wait 90 days to rebook and were you able to book immediately on the 91st day? Just wanted to know what you’ve went through ie, if there are other requirement needed when you cancel and then use the MRV fee.

Is there a way of bypassing the H1B lottery? I was told by an external recruiter that if I joined their London team, after a year I could go through H1B process without the lottery. My preference is to remain with Deloitte and transfer - can Deloitte put me through without the lottery? Are there stipulations such as minimum tenure or degree types etc?

Hello All,

I hope everyone is doing well.

Is anyone here, who switched company from India to Germany?
Do they consider only German speaking candidates or English speaking is ok for them?
Also, anyone have experience with EU Blue card.
Can we directly apply for EU blue card from India if there is a job offer? Anyone got visa sponsorship directly from German employer?

I have seen most of companies need German speaking candidates.

I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!
