Why if you are on H1B is so much problematic for vendors looking for contractors ? Vendors keep on asking to join on W2 rather that Corp to Corp although for employees on H1B we cannot join on W2 due to immigration issues. Point being does it matter for end client , if the contractor is coming as W2 or not ?

Hi fellow USI 🐟

Did anyone recently apply for visa extension, how much time did Seyfarth took to complete the process and receiving the approval. End to end starting with initiation to approval.

Just venting a little: being on a non-competitive pay while on L1 visa and waiting for GC sucks…

EY people: has anyone heard from immigration today? I’m losing hope

Hi all, my H1B got approved today and I am waiting on the actual physical notice. In parallel I have a L2 EAD extension request in process. My H1B is valid from oct 1 only. Can I withdraw my L2 tomorrow? Is it okie if I am out of status for nine days? I am worried that the L2 will get approved. If it does get approved, what do I do?

Does it matter if I don’t meet the specific job requirements when transferring H1B? The job posted requires CPA license but I haven’t got it. The employer is still willing to hire me. I know for PERM process, meeting minimum requirements is important but not sure if H1B have such requirement. I heard that for H1B as long as it’s a position requiring bachelors degree and specifically occupation that should be fine. But kinda worried about this.

Anyone preparing for Australia immigration? Where are you at the process?

Looking for insight on business immigration firms in LA. I worked as a judicial clerk/staff attorney at the immigration court and occasionally handles decisions involving employment-based immigration, non immigrant visas, and waivers. I’d like to get into business immigration and eventually advice and counsel for employers, so I’m wondering whether I should be looking into full service firms with L&E and immigration. Thanks!

I recently interviewed at a fast growing pre-IPO company for a Strategic PM role and I was sold that the comp should be around $180-200k plus RSU which should be about $300k annualized TC if all goes well. I have 14 years YOE in tech, but this would be my first intro to PM roles. How much signing bonus is reasonable to ask for if I am giving up on equity and quarterly commission pay to leave my current company?

Also in terms of seniority and salary are these roles any different?

Current salary range for business immigration attorneys in NYC?
(One year of immigration experience. Two years of business immigration experience.)

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…

How do you answer the question about yourself in i-944 where you can indicate "self" and it asks you if you live with said individual "self", and if this individual is filing for an immigration benefit with you or has in the past (again it's weird because you're talking about yourself.. ).

Can a non-US citizen lawyer practice cannabis/marijuana law? Is it advisable considering the non-US citizen lawyer would have to prove good moral character when he wants to become a US citizen?

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?

I took on a pro bono immigration case through my firm and made a (justifiable) mistake. No one was overseeing me. I’m worried for my client and I’m also worried about a motion to reopen/ineffective assistance of counsel argument. Has anyone ever dealt with this?

BAL and Fragomen associates, has their been any effort to push associate salaries up? If not, what is their excuse?

It seem like the two biggest immigration firms are severely lagging behind in compensation while other larger firms with immigration practices are pushing up comp.

As a new immigration attorney I am not fully aware of the price I should charge for an EB-2 and EB-3. Could someone give a hint?

Average salary, Immigration attorney:
Anybody know average salaries for 1st year associates in immigration firm? The team consists of 2 attorneys, 2 assistants & 1 receptionist. Located in Metro Atlanta. 1 year of experience, bilingual. TIA!

What is average number of clients to have per attorney? I know it always depends on practice and firm, but I'm wondering if there's a general amount?

Fragomen and BAL updated their NY job posting to be in compliance with NY’s salary law. Is anyone else immensely frustrated by the low salaries in immigration? I like the work, but the comp can suck

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? Job I’m interested in says STEM/business/finance UG required (it’s a capital markets role) but I’m unsure of how this would work (never switched jobs before on H1B). TIA!

I’m taking a shot in this bowl with something I posted in the law bowl: I am trying to find an immigration lawyer who will talk to me about how our au pair can possibly become our nanny when her program ends (so she can stay in the US and we can pay her on the books). I know it’s difficult but I’ve heard stories of families doing this. Anyone have any leads?

Once I get my H1B issued, how soon can I apply for a greencard and how long does the process take from application to receipt of the greencard? For reference, I’m born Canadian (I think birth country plays a factor in this?) and is it better to apply through my employer or apply on my own?
