One of my colleague on H1b joined Deloitte an year back. When he initiated his GC, there was law firm change happening in Deloitte and his request was placed on hold. After constantly following up, for 5-6 months new law firm informed that he only has an year left before max out and refused to file PERM. He reached out to Talent too but with no result.His visa is expiring in next 4 months and recently Talent informed that he cannot take transfer to India due to annual freeze. Any options?

Dm me - I was in this spot with PwC. (with unexpected layoff). I can help.

Did PwC start their layoffs? Heard Deloitte started it this month.

Barring an application for PR to Canada/Australia he really has no other option but to go back to India because no employer will touch someone with just 4 months remaining on h1b. At least no 100% clean option. He could choose to go to a day one cpt college but am not sure whether Deloitte or other big employers deal in that. Maybe some bodyshop but in today's times it's really risky to be on the payrolls of shady bodyshops.

Thank you. But shouldn’t a firm like Deloitte atleast give him an option or transfer to India? They aren’t doing that either.

1 year was good enough to file PERM. not sure why the law firm would not do that...i know a lot of ppl who initiated GC with around 13 months remaining only..his case should have been prioritized above others..

Hi folks,
Quite new to this. I’ll be moving to Dubai in a month and I got to know that my education documents need to be attested before the company can apply for visa. I’ve been trying to get hold of this as information is not consistent. Do I need to have MOFA Attestation in addition to the UAE Embassy Attestation from home country or will that be managed by the company in UAE itself?

Found a most enlightening work on decolonial history with tons of TIL moments especially about Anti Colonial movements in Egypt, China, Japan and course India in the 19th and 20th centuries. Most histories this period often adopt a Euro-centric lens but this book flips it and tells the stories of these turbulent times from the vantage point of the pioneering Asian leaders like Tagore, Al Afghani, Kang Youwei etc. Lovers of Asian history would surely appreciate this book
