I came to US on an L1b in 2018 and switched to H1b in 2021 Oct. Current 797/visa expiry is stated as July 2023, by which I would have spent 1.5 years on H1b visa (and 3.5 years on L1b before that). During h1b extension , will I get another 4.5 years of extension? How does extension work when u switch visas?

You will get total of 6 years, including the time spent on L1B. Before you run out of time, make sure you get I-140 or be ready to pack bags. I had exact same situation so can definitely confirm this is how it works. In my case I had to pack bags and fortunately go to UK instead of India.

Just cannot get into my job lately. I don’t know if it’s the hormones, the upcoming FET transfer next week, or if I’m truly just over my company. I’ve been there 5 1/2 years. I started out as an executive assistant and last year I created a path for myself for communications. Almost a year into the role, a new manager was brought on, to my surprise. She is great, but I’m finding I don’t have enthusiasm for this role at all. I don’t think I have a choice to go back to being an executive assistant

Just received an offer I’m pretty excited about. On H1B with an approved I140 (since 2017). Planning to start at the new company by end of July. Any best practices to keep in mind? Specifically on what to communicate with /ask from the new organization (they are open to transferring), when is it safe to resign from Deloitte, anything around the gc process with the new firm etc.? Thanks a lot in advance 🐠 family!
