Question for H-1B 🐠, my extension is taking forever (9 months and counting). My prior visa expired couple months ago so based on the 240 day rule, I have a valid status until end of March 2020 (contd)

Any idea what happens if the extension doesn’t come through before then? Guessing I have to leave the country but wanted to know how the firm supports this case if anyone has had experience wit h it. Do they allow you to work remotely from your home country till the visa comes through ? Or is it more like paid and unpaid leave

Can’t they convert to premium? You can offer to pay for the premium processing fee...

True. I’m planning to avail that option but even then there’s a potential RFE scenario, so mainly wanted to understand the options beyond 240 day period.

What EY1 said. Also, my understanding was till the adjudication happens, you are free to stay and work as usual because delays from uscis's side isn't your fault?

Dude why do you want to wait till the last min. Get the premium done in January and respond to RFE in Feb. Give yourself and the firm a few weeks to figure out other options in case it fails to approve. You have to proactively manage your visa and status. Don’t just leave it to immigration. They are working on 1000s of cases.

Hi all! To qualify for an L1A visa, do you have to be a senior manager / executive level or does it work as long as you’re a manager? I just moved out of the US because the H1b lottery didn’t work out for me, and I’m thinking rather than spending 1 or 2 years in my home country and go back as a senior, I’d much rather work here a bit longer, get that manager title, wait a year, and then go back as I think that would be the fastest route to green card..? Any thoughts/advice? I’m from đŸ‡°đŸ‡· :) TYI!!

Hi ! Looking for advice. I’ve been with a company in BC for 2.5 years, started support role, promoted to smb AE a year ago. salary is 65k with uncapped commission. We recently did layoffs, I was kept however there have been changes & meeting quota has become difficult & we have a way heavier workload. The perks are amazing but I need to make more money. Do you think I could get a role with more money with my experience that’s fully remote even in this “recession”..thoughts?
