This is pretty common..apply, get a job, get a transfer on premium..u r good

Thx. Has anyone experienced companies going more conscious with the current hue and cry about visa situations

Yes, it's difficult these days.

D1.. difficult why? If u have your offer, and if the org takes care of necessary documentation, there is absolutely no reason why its difficult.

I would suggest stay there and get the visa extended & stamped before moving out.

Yes they have apparently a company asked if I was in the first 3 years of my H1😏

Lot of companies are slowing down on H-1B hiring looking at the current environment.

Yes. Transfer cases are also getting RFEs, hence the slowdown. Best to stay put. Do you have your I140?

Thx all! Ideally I would like to stay but my project situation is not good.
@DD1- any idea what could be a reason they asked that from your comp?
@EY2 - nope. Just two years on H1B

No idea OP . My assumption is if you are in your first 3 years then its just a H1 extension & if you are in the later 3 then you need a perm to be filed to extend h1 beyond 6 years

OP. What form are you with? I know that PwC has stopped sponsoring H1B (at least for campus hires). So guessing that are not doing it for C/SC levels any more. KPMG also doesn’t do H1. D /EY are your potential options (if you are looking for a Big4)

@PwC2: are you sure that KPMG and PwC have stoped doing it for lateral hires at C level? There career website doesn’t say anything like that... they were my big bets

For PwC , I am not entirely sure about laterals, I know it for certain reg campus hires. So if they are not hiring Campus hires for C/SC lvls, not sure why they do it for laterals at the same lvl. They are doing it for M/SM though.

As for KPMG, I thought they never even had a H1 sponsor policy, as I have explored switching to them in the past — think of all the Big4s, they do least H1.
