I’m on L1B visa, currently applied for change of status to L1A as I was promoted to manager in 2021. Deloitte sent me an email about participating in H1B - should I apply? If I get H1B in the lottery, do I have to switch or can I stay on L1 visa?

Hi all! Just got my perm approved woohoo. Filed in December. I know next step is I-140 and adjustment of status. How fast does this go? When will I hold a green card

Hi, I did my Masters- Masters of Computer Applications in india, and I am 2015 passout, currently having 6 years of relevant IT experience.

Please suggest

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??

My firm has applied for my L1A visa. If that gets denied, my plan is to travel to Canada and re enter US immediately on B1/B2 visa (already have valid B1/B2 stamp) so that I'll get time to figure out things here in the US (sell my stuff, handle my bank accts etc). Is it possible for me to reenter US on tourist visa?

If my H1 is up for extension on July 2019, when should I initiate extension. Can I change my home city in that time period?

Can I have two separate employers file for h1b and only join the one I get picked at?

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