I have a client (employer) that wishes to hire a worker that is currently in an H2B visa. Two questions: 1. Do I use the same 9142B to apply for the change of employer, and 2) because it is a change and extension (he is on year 2) it won’t count against the quota?

Looking for opportunities/referrals for my spouse as Intern or Junior Salesforce admin or project coordinator in Toronto (remote).

Hi Fishes
My Android career is in a good shape in India. My parents are considering a marriage alliance with an NRI who is a Civil engineer in Texas. If I move with him by leaving my current job, what are my job prospects in Texas? How long does it usually take to get work visa and how easy/tough is it to get a job there considering I have 6+ years of experience in the field?

My H1-B expires on April 2022. My perm is currently in process and they are applying for H1B extension and H4 visa extension for my spouse. The immigration team said that they can apply for an H4 ead as well. Is that possible? My H1b visa started April 2016 on i-94 and and is stamped as start date April 2016. I have only been physically in the US for 5 years and 2 months. I am confused on how can they still file for an EAD? Am I missing something?

Hi, did any of you receive H1B receipt notice after filing..please let us know asap.

Hi All, currently Visa is approved, stamping is yet to be done... But the package is 60k only and I heard from colleagues who are already there, that this is not sufficient... I am working at a package of 12 LPA in India, and I think switching is the best option rather than going to US. Need your opinion please

Dumb question: Why would we get a travel credit card (CSR, AAdvantage, etc.) when we have to book travel thru our corporate card, so we aren't even going to reap the benefits of traveling every week?

I did an emergency project for my company last year. I spent a month working 16-18 hours a day to help get a product out. During this year's bonus/raise cycle we were told there were no merit increases, however I got a hefty retention bonus. I have heard rumblings of another emergency project and don't want to do it unless I get compensated up front somehow for it. What leverage do I have, and what is reasonable to ask for?

SO and I are debating contributing to 401k this year since the rate of return is around -11% on our portfolios this year. I believe it would be better off saving the cash in my account.

I didn't care tbh.

I and my boyfriend have been dating over a year now. Our relationship in general is pretty smooth and sweet. The only problem is he has not come out to his parents yet. It was not an issue before the pandemic thing since we were just living in the city, being in our own bubble. But Covid happened and he moved back to stay with his dad. Since he is not out, he can’t pick up the phone call whenever I call him, he can’t tell his parents he is dating someone in the city. Cont.

Can anyone help me on this ? Also , is AmCAT an elimination test??? Please guide me through

Can the beneficiary of an I -130 filed by USC son establish hardship for 601 fraud waiver purposes if the QR spouse dies before the waiver is filed? Jurisdiction: NY

Urgent question, if anyone knows the answer. I found out a petition I filed is being rejected due to incorrect filing fee, but I haven’t received the rejection package yet. Do I need to wait to receive the rejection notice to send everything back with it, or can I just refile a new petition asap? Really praying I can do the latter…

I am an senior associate at a small (8-10 attorneys) immigration firm in NYC. My base is 110k and I get 30% for the cases and clients I bring in. My revenue was 370k last year and I did 250k till April this year.

My issue is, I have so much firm's work that I have hard time to work on my cases/clients. It feels like my cases are supposed to be done after hours (like after 6 pm). My work hours are crazy. I feel this is unfair and since my firm's taking 70% of my sales. Should I ask for a raise?

Representing a client pro bono in a defensive asylum case scheduled for a merits hearing this week. Government has agreed to dismiss and we have fully signed and filed a joint motion to dismiss. Any chance the IJ denies our joint motion? I'm prepared for the hearing but curious if IJs still get credit for resolving the case in this scenario. Thanks!

Recently started my own firm and interested in others thoughts. Are there resources out there for practical advice or is it only something that comes with experience? For example, I can take let's say a 601A client and use the resources available to me to learn how to do it. But if a client asks me is it better to marry my fiance in her home country, bring her here on a K-1 or have her visit on a B-2, that's not learned from a book or webinar. How does one learn how to evaluate new cases?

Hi - I'm looking for a referral for a family member in the LA/Orange County. Relative is a permanent resident (has been for 10+ years) and looking to apply for citizenship.

Now looking to an attorney with immigration & crim experience. Thank you!

After two years of studying for the lsat, working, finishing up undergrad, going through a mental crisis or two and moving three times, I have decided to step away from the path of becoming an Immigration lawyer (I’m in my 30s). I’m mentally spent and already have a lot of undergrad debt. But I still really want to help in this area, especially assist refugees, asylum seekers, and working/advocating to change some laws if possible. I feel like this field/category is vast and complicated, so I…

Just venting here… At WAS for an adjustment interview based on an affirmative asylum and the officer said he’s never done and affirmative adjustment before… and questioned my client when he said that he has never been in proceedings. Officer said “I don’t agree with that, I think you *have* been in proceedings” when we submitted the affirmative asylum approval and I had to show that to him smh. Why aren’t they training these officers 😭

BIA Briefs: I’m an associate at an immigration law firm. I determined that immigration isn’t for me So I gave the managing partner my 2 weeks. He wants me to wrap up some BIA briefs before I leave however I’m reviewing the record for a lot these and I’m seeing that a lot of the arguments for Asylum, Withhold, and CAT are incomplete. How I’m going to argue that the IC abused its discretion or misapplied the law when we made a facially insufficient argument for relief?

Hi - looking for direction: I’m about to file my citizenship application without a lawyer (after 5yrs of permanent residency). I filled out the N-400 form myself. At the end of the form it’s asking to upload any documents/evidence. How important is it uploading documents and what exactly is preferable to upload? (ex: foreign passport pgs, univ degree, employment verification?). It didn’t specifically require to upload copies. Would my case be denied if I don’t upload anything? Thx in advance

Is it possible to switch from consulting to ibanking with a STEM background while on H1B? Or does USCIS care that your education and background fits perfectly into the little description?
