On a secondment (L-1) visa. Want to apply for other jobs which would mean switching to H-1B. What's involved? Do I need to go through the lottery?

The H-1B is capped, hence the lottery. At this point, you're better off going for a green card with PwC, assuming you can get an EB-1. You can probably get that done before the next year's H-1Bs are processed.

Yeah, and it's too late for this year. Are you L1A or B?

like

With an L-1A, you should definitely go for a green card which you can get in 6 months. That's the smarter play.

L-1A. Are there any circumstances in which hiring companies will do the work in petitioning for your status change outside of the lottery?

Its amazing how many shaadi.com or bharatmatrimony.com profiles in the US start with 'Only open to Citizens/Green, Card Holders, non-indian born H1B'.

There's a country-based clear pecking order for men and women which is truly entertaining to watch 😄

Hi everyone,

I was affected by layoffs about a month ago and urgently looking for a good immigration lawyer. The lawyer should be experienced in handling this 60 day grace period situation and developing alternate strategies - such as change of status to B1/B2 or applying to jobs from India. There is a lot of noise and wrong information going in the market so looking for good recommendations. 

I have very little time left for my grace period to end and need a consultation soon. Thanks
