Why are you leaving when they are about to file I-485 ?

It makes 0 sense to reset everything now. Just submit i-485, get the green card and then move.

This guy is not Indian, he/she wouldn't care.
So the answer is that if the money and work is great, move once you have the h1b transfer approved. Stall PWC immigration saying you are busy with Thanksgiving and other holiday crap

A typical Indian’s green card wait is between 10-100 years. So no Indian will post this message.

D1 is right. I am not Indian and not worried of not getting the GC anytime soon cuz I like the new firm a lot more. I've been with pwc for 7+ years and cannot stand the politics and dullness of work....

I came into a hedge fund job as an analyst in February of this year and didn’t negotiate my bonus at the outset. I was coming from tech and needed a green card so didn’t have much room to do so.

With bonus season coming up, I have a feeling my PM is going to underpay me. Should I bring up the subject myself? Also, how do I get a sense of what I’m worth? I did not trade but was the main data guy and built a tool that is indispensable for our process. Is 10% of his cut of PnL reasonable?

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.
