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.

Can someone explain RSU refreshers to me? Let’s say your first year’s RSU value was 200k, at 100 shares each for the sake of simplicity. 5 years down the road the stock doubles. Would your refresher be based on the dollar value or an increase in share quantity. And also let’s say the stock hypothetically goes 10x like Tesla did. Would the company start awarding fewer shares to match a specific $ target on that date or would your future TC benefit mostly from change in share price?
