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

Hello Fishes, I interviewed at a company in October and they responded to me after a month. I accepted the verbal offer last week Wednesday. They said they would give written offer in a week. I have recruiters from the same company reach out for positions at different locations. My current recruiter said once I accept this I can't interview for other positions at the same company. Their process is so slow that I don't really want to miss out on any chance.What would be a great time to follow up?

Hi,

I am done with the multiple rounds of technical interviews in PWC AC and HR confirmed that the feedback is positive and they are working on next process.
Its been one week I haven't received any communication on that. When I called HR, she told that background check team will reach out to me over email or call in some days.

Can anyone suggest if I should hope for the offer letter in this case from PWC AC or not.
Also, what salary I should negotiate for Senior Associate.

Had an epiphany recently.

Why do I work so much?

It’s because I have little family and few, if any, friends. Had a rough childhood. My way of making an impression on others has always been through work.

By working, I do something I’m good at and makes people appreciate me, while covering for my loneliness and feeling of inferiority. It’s sort of the only thing holding me afloat.

When I’m probably never going to have friends or a family of my own, becoming partner is the next best thing.
