Hello - I got approved for an H1B visa last June 2021 from an L1B visa. Does the my previous (2) years in L1B count towards my H1B? I got confused since my I-797A says it is valid from 10/2021 - 09/2024. Thanks!

Just read the 157 pg rule. Wage level bands are changed to 45th percentile, 62, 78 and 95 (from the current 17, 34, 50 and 67). Same percentiles will be used for GC PWD purposes - so a level 2 job in the new system will almost require the pay of level 4 in the old scale, employers will be discouraged from sponsoring GC. The document also includes very detailed rationale for the rule and underlying analysis being performed. IMO the WH seems to be well prepared for this one.

Laid off, H1-B, 60 days grace period - worst case, no new employer within 60 days, would you recommend going back to the home country and search for US opportunities from there and not waste money by filing B2 and living on own here?

Why are the Big 4 so bad when it comes to immigration benefits for their employees? Discuss.

I am an Indian citizen, but I work in Europe. I have an offer with the US counterpart of my firm. Given the current travel ban from Europe and additional NIE requirements from Europe, it doesn't seem advisable to apply for a L1A from Europe.

In this case, will I be eligible to apply from India, because of my citizenship? How long does it take on average for a L1 visa process when applied from India? Any advice?
