Bruh/Sis, if you’re Indian (and not EB1), there’s no rush to get your I-140, as it’s gonna be a few decades wait for your PD to become current anyway. Throw that money into this market dip and make a killing.

The only reason you would want to fork out is if you plan on jumping ship soon (aka >6 months after I-140 approval), in which case, go for it.

If you want to move cities, yes. Once the i140 is approved, you can keep renewing your h1b past the 6 year limit while your new PERM process goes on

Looking to move cities ASAP hence

If you move cities, *I believe* you will need to refill the perm (and I-140). If you can’t wait to move cities, you have your answer right there.

Hi all, I’m a mom of 2 (2.5 years and 9 months). I’ve been with IBM five years as a data scientist and more recently as a product manager. I’m looking for my next role and I’ve been applying to jobs externally for about a month and I’ve only received rejections. I’ve struggled with postpartum depression during the first few months. I’ve been doing a lot better lately but I’m feeling these rejections are starting to get to me. Any PMs out there willing to share any advice or connect with me 1x1?

A former colleague of mine (a sweet Indian American woman in her early fifties, who moved to States when she was 2 years old from India) said last week that Trump policies messing the H4/EAD renewals are very much valid even though it pains folk she know. Her reasoning is that Indian American kids are taking huge loans to study here and those jobs are being grabbed by FOBs. Never thought I would hear something like this from her. Anyone else come across such behavior from Indian Americans?
