I'm crowdsourcing advice for a good friend of mine at PwC. She just got passed up for Manager, has one more year on her H1B, and was told that her leadership wasn't sponsoring a GC. What would you do?

@D1 is right. She's going to struggle - Deloitte requires minimum 6 months, and a completed performance review, for GC sponsorship. Sounds like this... friend may need to spend a year out of the country and return on a fresh H1B.

She can claim any time spent outside the country during this 6yr period for extended H1B if she is looking for additional time till she figures her situation out. I think EY is the same, you need to be in the firm atleast for a year prior to GC processing. But they may have some flexibility there.

It can't be op. Op you get two 3 year h-1 terms, and after the 6th year get an extension only if the gc application has been approved and you are waiting for the gc date. I got a 7th year extension. There is zero point in staying at PwC without the GC in the bag. Good luck. And Principal 1 you are likely a privileged white male troll. Let her be.

Is she into her 6th year on h1b? If so, she needs an approved I140 before her 6th year ends

P1, yes it is for a friend. I would have no qualms saying it if it were for me especially given FB's anonymity.

D1, she gets into her 6th in September and does not have nor would have an I140 given her leadership's refusal to move on the GC process.

There are other companies who are often willing to immediately start the green card process, but they need to be that desperate.

Grad school is a third option. She'd get into grad school before the h-1 expires, and can then get new opt with the f-1. She should consult an immigration attorney.

D1 - you are right. Microsoft is one of them.

Unfortunately very few options, your GC process should have started prior to entering the 6th year. Even if he/she joins another firm it is a year long process to even get to that point. So unfortunately grad school is the only option

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?

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.. ).

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?
