I’ve been working in the US for 5 years. My H1-B visa interview is in 28 days in India. I’m engaged to an American, should I be mentioning that if they ask me about why I want to live in America?

I wouldn’t offer this information, but if they asked a more specific question like “are you in a relationship with a USC” (it sounds specific but it’s been done) I would say this. H-1B is dual intent visa so you can have “immigrant intent” and still qualify… being engaged to a USC isn’t necessarily “immigrant intent” but that appears to be your fear here.

Thanks. My fear is that if I let the visa interviewer know that I’m getting married to an American in a year, the person might reject my visa.

In addition to my job here of course

They won’t ask you in an H1b interview

Looking for some advice.. Manager left, I was given their work. Promoted few months after, but not to the role of my previous manager. Rec opened, I applied, didn't get it. We hired the new person and in my hopes to offload some of that original work back to them. I was told I'm going to continue to do everything my previous manager was doing. I'm still not a product manager even tho my previous manager was and the new manager is. Applying to jobs and concerned my title is holding me back.
