Hi Fishes,

I have attended two interviews with cognizant for the same role. From that, I have got an offer letter from one panel and I am discussing with the HR about to make some salary revise.
Unfortunately, the second panel also processed my profile and it got short listed and they come back for a talk to process the offer letter. Now the first panel HR called me and asked about the second process why it got happened.
Does this results in any drawback for the offer letter i have got already?

My partner and I bought our home back in 2020. We got a good deal, low rate. But we want to move into a more spacious SFH. However, as we all know this market is crazy. Everything we want costs $620k+ and bc of rates it makes our mortgage estimates $3500+. We are currently paying $2k. And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances. But what would you do? - not move, sell and buy?

My H1B max is Dec 2022. Really want to quit my job. But EY is doing GC with me. Part of me felt like I should try to find another job and see if they would start GC for me right the way. Then, I don’t want to quit coz I know I don’t want to go through the begging GC part.

Anyone know if general business tax service(BTS) experience and individual/ business tax experience from local small firm count as experience for GC in an international tax position? I'm planning to transfer to International tax but wondering if my previous tax experience can be used for GC application.

Hi,

I got my H1B with employer A, then I filled DS 160 and also paid the fees to book visa appointment. I could did not book a visa date due to covid.
Now I got a new job and my H1B got transferred to employer B. Do I have to fill the DS160 again and pay the fees again OR I can book another appointment without paying the fees again?

If your current employer wants to move you from payroll of one company LLC to another affiliate LLC, is there any change needed to your H1-B visa?
