I currently have h1b active until May 2021 and my extension will be filed soon. Along with that Deloitte is starting the PERM process soon. I am planning to travel to India in December and will be back before end of December. Is there an issue with extension being in process and PERM starting while re-entry ? TIA!

Hi Folks,

Anybody recently went through the H1B transfer process?

How much time does it take starting from the lawyer reaching out to you and then you receiving the approval.

Deloitte onboarding E-mail says , it background verification is not complete by target start date , they can postpone the date last minute.
I have 14th march as a start date and I don’t know my background verification status.
I emailed BIONBoarding but no response.
How am I supposed to give notice to my current employer without knowing BGC status ?
Please advise if someone faced this situation.
(P.S. I don’t have any record, just being cautious because I am on H1B/work visa)

Please let me know the process of H1B amendment. Does it requires slot booking and stamping again?

Hello I just started my first job (I’m 22) and I need to set up a 401k for matching with my company. I’m really confused how this works because I want to try to hit the IRS maximum of $19,500 for Roth contributions this year. Maybe it’s too late in the year now, but it’s asking me to pick my desired contribution % per pay period, but I’m not sure how much to do because it says it’ll kick in 1-2 pay cycles and I don’t even know when the next pay check comes yet. Any tips would be great
