As an update - I looked at some online forums and folks post March 20th who have filed an extension or transfer with Nebraska or California have received their notices as well as approvals in Regular processing. Just wanted to share this info.

Same here on 20th with premium, but premium will be not honored. I got my dependents acknowledgement

Thanks EY1 did the law firm give you an estimate? Mine said it should come anytime now.

Filed March 19 premium got approval notice Mar 24

Yes the package reached March 18

H1B extension: Filed Mar 6, Received Mar 9, Approved Mar 11

Typically does it take so many days to get a receipt back? I do understand with the COVID issue as well as H1B lottery a lot might be going on at USCIS already

OP check with law firm, they get e-notice with receipt number, paper copy can arrive anytime from 3-15 days

Thanks KPMG1. My law firm is absolutely not cooperating with me - they route me to my new employer who is operating 100% remote. Btw, mine is a transfer case so the law firm is a freelancer.

I got an RFE filed on 20 th and RFE sent on 30 th. EY is saying they haven’t received yet

Is it true Deloitte is not sponsoring H1B visas? I have a friend considering joining as an SC after MBA. However, they are concerned that Deloitte is not sponsoring. Are these fears correct? How does this work from a recruiting perspective? They would be hired as an off-cycle campus hire via PPMD referral, not within the standard pool of campus hires. Thanks!

Is anyone here, who switched company from India to Germany?
Do they consider only German speaking candidates or English speaking is ok for them?
Also, anyone have experience with EU Blue card.
Can we directly apply for EU blue card from India if there is a job offer? Anyone got visa sponsorship directly from German employer?

I have seen most of companies need German speaking candidates.

Anyone here waiting for a Family Based Green Card, my lawyer filed it last September 2021. It’s 14 months now… still waiting.

Just wanted to know if anyone of you got it earlier than 2 years?

Saw this while searching —
“In most cases, it takes about two years for a green card to become available, and the entire process takes around three years. It can take slightly longer for citizens of Mexico, China, India, and the Philippines.”

On a brighter note — Got my EAD March 2022.

Hi Everyone,

Need some inputs before making an important decision.
I have offer from Cognizant and they are promising that next quarter they will initiate my Canada visa. They are giving assurance when I spoke to them over call. Also, my current employer Accenture is also saying the same to retain me. Can I believe Cognizant? Also, Canada onsite is best in which company - Accenture or Cognizant. Please suggest based on your experience.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone here who has rescheduled several times their visa interview appointment w/ embassy outside US. Allowed to schedule twice w/o penalty. On the 3rd time, it needs to be cancelled. Does yours say to wait 90 days to rebook and were you able to book immediately on the 91st day? Just wanted to know what you’ve went through ie, if there are other requirement needed when you cancel and then use the MRV fee.
