3/6 months

Which city? I don’t see a lot of industry companies taking in H1Bs

Agree with 3/6 months. Almost always 3 months

It’s not on hold..it’s only on hold for CAP FY19. If you are transferring and have valid visa then u r not in CAP FY19. I just transferred mine in August in premium. Also the immigration team does check the eligibility so actually it depends on employer. Even with premium processing my entire process took 3 months not because of USCIS but bcz of stupid immigration teams.

EY1 - The current hold expanded to h1b transfers for new employer petition. Only extensions aren't affected.

EY2 - I am very much confused with all the new regulations. Can extensions still be filled under premium?

Ey3 - yes. Only new job transfers and cap subject petitions are suspended from pp until Feb 2019.

So moving to a new firm is really a pain as they wouldn’t want to risk hiring you and waiting for : months. My life is doomed.

Op true. Only thing we can do is start job search in oct/nov (not the best time of hiring) and expect h1 to be filed around Jan with a requirement to get updated to pp on Feb.

This position i found is a perfect fit, 5 minutes from home and don’t want to lose it. Any ideas to convince employers to wait for 3 months?

I’m currently a Manager with 8 YOE, half of it in a mid-tier consulting firm and the other in a Big 4. Starting to look for an exit to industry and aiming for 220-250K base. Currently at $170K base and specializing in cyber security - is this too aggressive a target and if so, what should be my target for base + anything else (with the split)?

I’ve got a really good job. Wasn’t looking to move but a big 4 consulting firm reached out. I received a very generous/life changing offer. I’m so worried about work/life balance if I take this offer. Also worried about layoffs in a year or two when the market gets back to normal. I’ve got an infant and a 5 year old. I know that I can manage my current workload. I don’t want to pass up a great opportunity but I’ve got to be available for my family too!
