Two Questions for EY:
Has anybody filed extension on H1B recently and was on bench? How did EY filed that, most likely just the office address LCA ?
For new location LCA what details they collecting?

Has anyone had success claiming for unemployment benefits while on H1B? For data point, I’m in NY and I received a request for documents showing work authorization and sent back EAD, SSN, copy of H1B stamp and I797. Case is still processing.

Is anyone in this group spent 4 years in public accounting audit still waiting for his/her employer to start Labor petition perm process? I have only 2 years left with my h1b now, during this unprecedented time I am worried if the firm may not be willing to incur additional cost? Please let me know if anyone in this group have faced the similar situation?

Can we do GLG type calls while on H1b? I get a lot of these requests but not sure if we are allowed to do this.

About to file 485 in 3 months, is it worth it to do H1b stamping now or just wait??

Hi guys, a plea for help here 🙏🏻 have any founders here gotten an O-1 visa or an H1B transfer into their startup? Would greatly appreciate hearing your advice / experience over DM

I’m a US citizen and my partner is in india. We want to apply for a fiancé visa. Heard it’s better and processes faster than brining over a spouse. Curious how long it takes to process? Your experience and any recommendations for immigration lawyer to help file in the NJ area would be appreciated. TIA!

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I’m really discouraged. My after tax / after 401k contributions etc. take home pay is $6,500 monthly. I have $60,000 in savings / stocks for a down payment but even looking at a $550,000 home, my monthly payment would be about $3,400 from the calculators I’ve been using. Is that too high?

So discouraged that houses where I live are about 50% higher than what they were 2 years ago, and now interest rates are around 5.25% for my credit score. This is like a 1750 sq foot home

Other than citizenship, are there any other benefits of having a baby in the US vs in India? My wife and I may not be settling in the US, depending on what we decide over time.

Need advice. Currently at $142k base. 3 years and 1 month left before I max out of H1b. Just got my PWD issued through current employer though their immediate reaction is subtly letting me know they’re not in a hurry to start recruitment. Got an offer today for $160k base. Similar role, both are good teams, etc. Do I politely decline and see my GC process through or accept and get more money? Feel like current employer will drag their feet as long as they can for retention purposes.

Is there a diff between starting GC process with FAANG or Big 4? Is the specialty occupation a concern in the GC process? Appreciate any insights!
