I was laid off on H1B and the company put me on leave of absence with a letter till end of July 30th. Does that letter serve as an evidence of the start/end date of my grace period?

Can you change jobs and transfer H1Bs before you get the visa stamped on your passport?

I am on OPT Stem currently in my last year. What are my next options for visa if my company doesn’t want to sponsor me for the H1B?

Damn, what’s happening here? No one has said it yet? Ok, the visa ban (incl. entry, stamping, etc) has been revoked

Does Fis provide on site job opportunities and support for masters studies or visa sponsorship

Is it standard to get revocation notice for H1B petition from older employee after transfer and approval of the petition with new employer? Has anyone here faced it before or know what does that mean?

Can someone explains perks of L1 visa ? How per deim works? Is it worth it for short terms ?

I have four years left on H1b, I am planing to start MBA next year. Can I resume the same H1b post MBA?

Need advice: My firm just fired my whole team (said it’s becoming a conflict of interest buyside vs sellside). After the meeting, I was offered to stay at the firm and move to sellside, or I was also offered to follow my MD (who built out this sector) as he starts his own business (non compete waived, clients to be transferred). Interested to hear people’s thoughts on this.

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone have an idea if Wells Fargo does a H1 visa transfer/processing? I’ve found a few roles which match the job I currently do to a cent% and I feel I’d be a great fit but I just wanted to get this question out of my way because I’ve heard that WF doesn’t really deal with H1 visa’s much. Thanks, P

I'm a Cloud Engineer w/ 8 YoE on a company sponsored visa in UK. Trying to switch jobs and so far after 125 applications for the last 3 months - only 3 interview calls which I didn't get. 46 not considered, 49 haven't replied or job listing expired. Awaiting response from 24 and 3 interviews scheduled.

Is this a bad time to switch or is it my profile or skillset? I updated my CV, did all I could to get shortlisted but isn't helping much.

Any tips? I'm losing my confidence day by day :(

Soft layoffs at ProServe today ?

Global Deployment vs Transfer ? Which is best option and why ? My US Visa will expire in 1 year and Immigration asked me move out 1 year to Non- US Deloitte firm to reset my Visa eligibility..!

Calling help from Haas UC Berkeley or MBA candidates who deferred.

I just got admitted to Haas FT with a really good scholarship; but I’m in the middle of my Green Card (GC) application with Deloitte and due to covid/gov delays, it looks like it will complete just a few months after the school starts in 8/2022. I want to make the case for an one-year deferral and preserve my scholarship.

If anyone has any experience to share or any advice on how to approach this with the school, pls comment

Morning! Being laid off sux, I been down this road 5x in my career it never bets easier.

Dust off contacts and make your rounds

How are your leadership teams handling company-wide comms? We heard 1 month ago that we'll be having no raises but haven't heard anything since. I know no layoffs = good, but the silence is ominous.

Fear of being laid off (at 50) is so all enveloping that it’s affecting my health and sleep, and probably my job performance. I have a pot in my stomach all the time. Sitting alone at home (single) knowing if I’m on the list I’ll never get hired again. And not enough savings for the next three years let alone forty. Fuck

Is there any one going through Green card process out of US? My I-140 is in process and I don't have a current US status so I-485 is not needed, but I heard there are a few additional process to go through after I-140 has been approved.
Could you let me know what else has left/how long it usually take and how hard to complete the process?

When is a rental property worth it? Wife and I bought our first house in the last year for $600k (20% down). Now we’re considering a rental property (likely $300-$400k 20% down).
But how do you know what’s worth it? I understand IRR, but most are negative first few years while still adding equity in today’s market. Have seen several properties for $400k that rent for $2500. Seems like first year mortgage plus tax, maintenance vacancy is about that amount. When is it worth it?

Hi 🐟! For people that have been to the biometric appointment recently in NYC, were you allowed to bring your cell phone and bag with you? The appointment notice says “no cell phone is allowed”, so I’m not sure if I can even bring my phone with me into the building? I’m going there by myself so no other friends can hold my phone or bag for me temporarily.

Guys - question here. Do you recommend completing medicals before submitting I485 or just do it later?

On H1B visa now but am considering a complete shift in career from finance to something else (design/data/programming). Used my master degree OPT already. Any other ways where I can make the career change happen?

Do I need to fill out any immigration form etc if I’m changing my home address while on H1B? Work location stays the same - just shifting to a different apartment complex in the area.

Deloitte fishes on H1B- if you’re working from a remote location (50 miles away from your home office), do you submit that jurisdiction on DTE? If yes, wouldn’t that need an amendment? If no, wouldn’t uncle D find out and be upset?
