I have been working as Travel Nurse and I have been extending my contract working locally because it’s close to home but I am ready to go. The toxic environment is really affecting me. Being around negative people has me not loving my job. Every morning I wake up debating if I should call off and stay home. Is there any one else feeling this way? Especially a contract/agency worker

Anyone knows about the base for chase PCA?

Looking for some advice as I am considering relocating to US. How difficult is for HR professionals to get a work visa? I think from what I read I qualify under eb3 (no master yet) or h1b. How do for do about looking for positions that sponsor your visa? I'm in the defense sector and have previously healthcare and financial services experience. Also worked in global matrix organisations with US teams so know the culture quite well. Any help is greatly appreciated.

How long did you hear for an update after applying to visa with or without a referral?

I’ve seen BareFaced mentioned a few times in this bowl. Previously I’d never heard of it. How does it compare to a SkinCeuticals or a Obagi - especially for products like VitC and serums?

I am a South African and really want to work in Canada or in Europe. Any advice?

any recent stamping experience in Canada?

I have a joke about H1Bs, but it is RFEd

Got H1B approved this year. Planning to visit home country (China) and get the visa stamping. Can I work from China while I’m abroad to get the visa stamping? I’m planning to leave for a week (cont’)

Constantly thinking why I chose US to study and have worked here for several years. Visa is such an issue for long term career move. Might have choose Canada or Australia...

Got a new job and will start H-1B transfer. What’s the risk of giving my notice right before LCA is filed or right after? I know all lawyers advice to give notice once H-1B receipt is received but I need a break from my current role and want to have some free time before I start new role. I am fairly positive of the H-1B transfer at my new company as it’s a big tech firm

Is anyone in this group spent 4 years in public accounting audit still waiting for his/her employer to start Labor petition perm process?

Please let me know if anyone in this group have faced the similar situation?

Immigration lawyers had sent me a questionnaire to fill out for Manager PERM. They now just came back saying that they need to assess me for a different position. Anyone else experience this? I wonder if this means they’ll now just file a Senior Perm instead? Asked them but they’re not very responsive.

Folks who got their green card recently through EB2 recently. 1) When did you get it? 2) What was your priority date? 3) What nationality?

Will PWD processing times get better any time soon?

Can my spouse change her job while green card application is pending. I'm the primary applicant and both my I140 and I485 are pending.

She is currently working on an L2S which is also up for renewal. On similar terms, would her job change have any impact to her L2S renewal application, assuming it's applied and pending with USCIS by that time.

Anyone think the PERM processing time will fasten? I’d imagine with Covid there would have been less filing...
