I got my I485 receipt notice today, when I registered and logged into USCIS it shows expected time of 2 months for EAD, 8 months for AP and 18 months for 485. Is this correct and do they really take that long even if your final action date is current?

I recently left the gov’t for private practice with a M&A group. How does everyone bill when you are thinking about how to structure it and what docs need to get drafted? I’m learning that billing is an art so any canned language would be great!

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.

Hi all!! I am a first year master of urban planning student with a focus in economic development, spatial planning, and geospatial analysis and visualization (GIS, SPSS, R). I know guidehouse has a pretty robust state and local government consulting arm (and I would love to hear from any GH employees), but what other firms have strong local and state government practices? Does anyone work in this arena and would be willing to chat with me? Thanks so much!! Enjoy your Saturday 😊

Got my PERM approved last week and just submitted all the docs for the I/140/485/combo cards. How long it takes for attorneys to file it now?

So
- I didn't get selected in the H1B lottery.
- My company has agreed to send me to their London office for a year (haven't yet filed application).
- OPT ends in late June, so I can stay till mid-late August (grace period).

Question:
Should I just move to London as soon as I'm able to, or is it worth waiting until the end of my OPT in August in case they do a second round of the H1B lottery?

Hello All, My employer doesn’t seem to be sharing i140 approval notice. I need it for H1b transfer to new employer.
Anyone faced similar situation and got a copy from USCIS directly? How long it takes and process for it please?

Appreciate your suggestions. Thanks.

If visiting home country after transfer approval, will I be eligible for drop box? I have my current employers stamped h1b visa valid till end of next year. Thanks

If I get fired while on OPT without getting my H1-B stamped, is it useless or can it be used in future for some other job?

Can H1B visa holders own rental property? If so, can you self manage or do you have to get a property manager? (House would be bought through personal loan, not an LLC, so wondering whether USCIS could deem self managing as unauthorized employment? How would they find out?)
