If recents reports on H1B visa are true, I wonder how it will affect H1B extensions that need to be initiated in the fall. I guess I am stressing out unnecessarily. Any pros here who can help ease the lingering questions that many of us have ?

All the reports seem to be for people entering the country. To be honest, I only worry for things that I can control, if the administration suspend all H1bs there is literally nothing you can do except packing your bags, so why worry?

EO can only ban entry. Changes to specific H1B rules and requirements require regulatory changes and public opinions etc., there will be lots of lawsuits to block it if the impact is signficant (AILA is already preparing for it). Overhauling the H1B program would have to be done through legislation/congress, which won’t happen. Like McK1 said, why worry? Nothing you can do really.

Would it affect transfers too? If it does, someone that loses the job has no place but back home. Right?

Nah. It will have literally no effects on people who are here

I'm hearing that the EO can target changes in LCA wage levels. Again, I'm sure this will be contested in the courts if it did happen but remember that the courts are getting stacked with super conservative judges.

Landed a job in NYC. As much as I want to live there and will be moving in with my partner I think the most financially savvy option is to live in Jersey city to save on the city tax. Both our salaries would definitely go up next year so moving to the city would be a huge possibility in 2022. Has anyone else started our in Jersey city first ? Is it worth it or should I just try to make it work in NYC ?
