My new employer is getting ready to file my petition. I’m getting ready to get married before my tentative start date, and my SO is an American citizen. If I leave my current job before they file my transfer petition, would I be at any risk?

Well you’d technically still be on H1B so still subject to 60 days grace period before you’re out of status. As long as the new employer files within that time, you should be fine. Your GC through marriage might still be several months away.

Ohh I see. Gotcha! Thank you both!!!

Can someone help me? [CANADA]

I got an offer for Deloitte as a new consultant.
I applied for EY and PwC for business transformation and management consulting respectively.

My offer for Deloitte expires soon. I emailed both firms on yesterday politely asking if there's an update.
The thing is I'm more attracted to PwC/EY lines i applied to.

Has anyone heard back from these firms? I don't want to burn any bridges w/ Deloitte by accepting and then decline if a better off comes along.

Anyone stamped their H-1 extension recently? How long does it the whole process take? Heard it’s taking more than a couple of weeks now to get your stamping/passport back.

Just heard my H1B petition was approved. Visa will be valid starting Oct 1, 2021. I am also scheduled to get promoted in October (unsure of which date exactly). Hypothetically, if I get promoted from Account Coordinator to Account Manager I on Oct 5, after my H1B kicks in on Oct 1, how would this work logistically? Planning on going back to home country and also getting the visa issuance in Dec. Similar experience, anyone? Appreciate your input.
