Question about B-2 visa extension. My mom came to US in Jan 2020 and I filed an initial extension for her to stay until Jan 2021. Is it possible to extend the stay further? What is the process?

What’s the best way to maximize having both the chase freedom unlimited and sapphire preferred?

For context, I’ve had the unlimited for 2 years and just opened the preferred because of the bonus offer. I will hit the $4k spending target, but after that, what’s the best way to use these two in tandem, given the unlimited rewards are all around much better.

Final day at current company tomorrow and I have 100k+ AMEX points I need to use before they disappear forever. How should I redeem them to get the most bang for my buck?

Moved to Canada on a work permit but recently got my PR approved. It’s been a 4 month wait to get the actual PR card and I have a family trip coming up soon. Can I still travel and get back into the country with no issues given that I still have a work visa (W1) on my passport? Not sure if my change of status nulls my current visa

Hi
I have received an offer from a company and I'm in the second stage of interviews with another company. I am very interested to see if I could make it through for the second company. So can I accept the offer from first company and then if second one also sends an offer then let the first company know I would like to reject? Also i am on H1B visa. Should I be concerned with that?

New offer. What does this mean?: “Policy is that we don’t consider the green card until someone is at 2.5 years prior to the last extended date on their current visa.”

Hi! I’ve started Green Card process at my firm. Both me and my spouse are working on an H1B visa. Can I / Should I be including her on my application as a dependent? If not, then what would be her path to Green Card through my status.

Best sign up bonus right now that is not the CSP and the Amex platinum?

Hi Fishes, Is it possible to process h1b as cap exempt if I had worked on USA in h1b status for few months and if the visa is expired now, once I join a new employer.

Friends!
I think bowl leader is clear in his pinned post that we refrain from excessive negative posts and posts that my hurt people’s sentiments.

Understand the freedom of speech at the same time we should be aware that the spoof of Goddess Durga’s image posted below is offensive to a bunch of us; similarly a poster from EY calling people cow urine drinkers is offensive.

Would request people to refrain from knowingly hurting people’s sentiments.

Hello desi fam...Anyone know wherr/how to get an iptv box in the Chicago area?.... thanks

My response to the Associate Consultant:

You called me a Bhakt, thereby initiating your ritual of name calling. I never started politicization of this bowl, it existed much before me, dominated by the left-leaning so-called liberals and communists. So don't blame me for that. Our very own bowl leader is politically biased. Now hear my answers:

1. India should be a truly secular country without any minority appeasement. Things start to get murky when you.. (Contd)..

Desi fam - dinner ideas anyone? Vegetarian pls. SO tired of cooking every day but even more tired of having to decide WHAT to cook! Argh.

I'm 6 months old at D! Planning early promotion next year.. counselor and pm both are backing me.. I need to go to India for at least 4 weeks in Dec ... most probably would be rolling off from current project by then .. would this vacation hurt my promotion chances coz of utilization etc?

Which service(s) do you use and can recommend to send money to India?

Desi fam, for those of you who have a HSA account, do you know if we can use these funds for medical expenses in India?

Fish on visa - do you put ‘Candidate requires sponsorship’ on your resume ? I feel it is a time waste to get interview calls and anticipation only to find out they don’t sponsor on the call.
