What happens if my H1b extension petition is due and I am on bench? Do I have to be on a project for getting H1b extension?

Bench is better as it avoids the Hassel of client letter and all for worksites

Nope - my extension was filed and approved while I was on the bench

Depends on how your law firm and you decide to move forward. Bench may look better, but majority of the documentation that you need to provide for rfe depends on what type of work you do, and guaranteeing that you do/can do that work. And, most of that documentation can be provided easily or accurately if you are staffed.

Anyway, I was in the same situation. When extension was filed, I was staffed but not when I got the rfe. I had to provide previous project details to lawyers. Thank god that project was still going on (although I was rolled off) so that all dates,letters seemed appropriate to support my case at the time

Which company?

Hi fishes, what are the chances of Pwc AC rescinding an offer, given the market condition. The offer letter I have received seems to be generic and doesn't look it is for a specific project. The role seems to be generic. I am a little hesitant, specially because of HR's behaviour who doesn't seem to care responding to my queries and ignores all my emails and calls. Any advice?

How do you keep all of your notes-to-self organized? Not actual work product or drafts, but the kinds of things you jot down in meetings or as you’re working (e.g., “client prefers DE choice of law over NY” or “x agreement is best example of negotiated MSA”). I’m using OneNote, but I’m curious how others do it.

Anyone here who has rescheduled several times their visa interview appointment w/ embassy outside US. Allowed to schedule twice w/o penalty. On the 3rd time, it needs to be cancelled. Does yours say to wait 90 days to rebook and were you able to book immediately on the 91st day? Just wanted to know what you’ve went through ie, if there are other requirement needed when you cancel and then use the MRV fee.
