Recently left Deloitte for a startup who will sponsor my H1B, does anyone have any Chicago law firm recommendations ? Currently on OPT, Irish nationality

Doesn't the startup have immigration lawyers already or you're the first foreign worker for them?

Aah k. Dunno any Chicago based ones but you don't have to restrict yourself to just Chicago lawfirms. Most lawfirms these days have online portals to upload docs. Greg Siskind and Cyrus Mehta are pretty well known with a big presence on social media. You can also look up aila's lawyer referrals on ailalawyer.com for Chicago based lawyers and Google the lawyers to see ratings

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?

[I140 app. for Green card transfer] I have an approved i140 application at my previous employer. I have been at Google for 1.5 years and haven't started the GC transfer process here yet.
In an ideal world, I would be quitting this job and moving somewhere else that aligns better with my professional goals in the next 3 months.
Does it mandate me to have transfered my GC to Google or should I wait for the offer confirmation from the new employer and do it once for all there?

H1-B transfer question

I recently accepted an offer to join a company (A) . They started my H1-B transfer and I received today the approval notice for the transfer.

However, I accepted last week a (better) offer at another company (B) and they will start soon my H1-B transfer.

I attend to tell company (A) on Monday that I will not be joining them. Will there be any issue with company B filing for a H1-B transfer soon?
