I am UI/UX Designer on first H1B and my new company is filing for H1B transfer and needs an experience letter from my previous company which laid me off on 8th Sept. The chairman is our family friend and told me to draft an experience letter which he will sign. I want to include job responsibilities in my experience letter but not sure whether they have to match the petition filed during my H1B as I worked both as a contractor for 2 years and full time for another 2 years after H1B was issued.

You could ask the lawyers at your new company to draft it, or at least what it needs to say

Speak with whoever filed your initial H1B. They can either draft it for you or tell you what to include. I used to be an immigration paralegal and I would draft these letters all the time for applicants because it usually requires a few boxes to be checked and the language is all very boiler plate. USCIS officers just glance at these (maybe) to confirm that the boxes are checked.

Just put the ones in the initial job description to keep things consistent?

I feel the same because when they filed for my H1, the job duties for my full time employment were worded in such a technical way as a staff software developer. Hence the confusion on what to add under job responsibilities

I recently joined company A on an H1b. Because of the immigration team's mistakes, we had to re-file and it took almost 4months for me to join from the date of the offer. As this was getting dragged on, I interviewed at two companies (let's call them Company B and C). After I started at company A, I received offers from both of them with 30% more TC. If I accept one of these offers, that H1b transfer will take another 2months. Will resigning from A burn the bridges? How should I handle this?

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.
