Yup they do .You have to pay for premium processing though

Yupp. They did mine two weeks ago and it got approved. As EY1 said, you have to pay around $1300

Thanks ey1/ey2. When do they typically do the filling?
They are behind ridiculously secretive about it. Can I expect them to do it this month if my expiry is in September 2019

When did you i140 get approved? It took them almost a month to file extension before i140 approved

Ey3: Sorry my bad. My expiry is in September 2018. I140 for approved 1.5 months ago

Got*

EY1 and EY2 not necessarily. If your license is expiring along with your h1-b than EY pays for premium processing. Also, if you have your engagement partner or CFL support business can absorb that cost.. you just beed to play it right

Thanks ey 4. Ey law is not giving me a date though for filing extension. Have escalated to partner but they still haven't done it. Do you guys know when they will do it? Is it like a month before expiry?

Make sense , only Issue with that is you have to wait until last month. I pushed them to file 4 months early for my wife’s H4 EAD extension.

EY Law

Forever screwing people over while they sit with their legs crossed on Canada.

They are so clueless

@EY4...That is interesting .They told me that they will file in the normal way and I have to pay for premium processing. If the visa is not approved then I can still continue to work with the receipt notice .I paid the money to get it done faster and not have a headache later

@EY1 - what is your level in the firm?

i was on the same bout a couple months ago. talked to my partner but he had little power over ey law. Bottom line: they will, for sure, file your extension. when? it can be as close as a week prior your h1b expiration date. that what happened to me

I had my h1-b extension filed in premium 8 months before expiry in 2016. My h1 was set to expire in 2017. I had support from my CFL. EY may have changed the stand due to recent headaches and filing h1-b amendments multiple times to save the cost. Also filing h1-b amendments or extension under normal processing gives them time to play around as it takes 4-6 months easily

EY2 - What is the validity period of your new H-1B extension? Does the new one begin after your old one expires or immediately?

My current H-1B (applied when I was a Senior) expires in Sep 2018. EY Law informed me that my new extension will be from July 2018 to July 2021 as they need to amend my H-1B (I’m a Manager now). Does this make sense?

@EY7 : i don’t know the validity for my H1 yet as I am waiting for my approval notice , but my wife got EAD till June 2021( current one expires by Sep 2018), so I believe it’s 3 years from the date they file/fill application . Yes, the new one is valid immediately.

I think they are planning to apply your application in July, and they will request for 3 years , so you will get it till July 2021. They are amending all petitions based on new work locations , but it’s all the same.

By the way , I tried to escalate with partners, but partners has less power over immigration. Try to be nice with immigration folks, explain your business case, and send them multiple emails , they will prioritize your application as needed.

EY2 - Thanks for the info. Was your wife’s H4 and H4 EAD extension filed together with your H-1B extension application?

@EY7 : yes , H4, H4 EAD, My H1 got filed together in premium processing , and they all got approved within 10 days

EY2 - Thanks for the update. What is the validity period of H-1B extension?

Hi Fishes,

My last working date with TCS is on 4th March 2022 and now they are offering me 80% hike and Canada onsite opportunity and telling that will initiate visa as soon as I take resignation back and also ready to provide written confirmation. On the other hand I have an offer from IBM of 120% hike fixed and performance bonus would be there which I am not considering now.

Which one would be better? please suggest based on your knowledge and experience.
