I don’t know others but my employer uses Fragomen and I recall sending a full page long of corrections for my H1B application that they filled out. Lots of errors like, passport number copied wrong (I have 2 passports), other basic information like previous addresses, missing a digit.

I ended up filing “spouse based” GC and my employer offered to file it for us using Fragomen. I declined and we retained our own attorney (partly because I don’t want any stipulations, but a major reason is… I don’t want to have to check their work).

All are top notch lawyers compared to EY Law

I think EY law has a horrible reputation in the industry. They charge the least, pay their attorneys the least, and provide the worst work (I have fixed prior EY cases before).

I cannot speak for all EY law naysayers.
But in my case, they did everything in a timely manner and filed premium processing. So, no significant complaints

They are slow at notifying and replying at times though.. which is the case with most of the law firms listed above.

Ogletree consistently misses the deadlines they establish themselves. And they are already far longer that the legal requirements.

Does anyone knows if Deloitte can file H1B before the starting date? I got hired around October 2021 and official starting date might around summer/fall 2022.

Before I reach out to HR, just wanna know if anyone has similar situation!

Hi guys,
My H1B will start on 10/1/2022, and I'm planning to go to my home country in October for H1B visa stamping. It say I should tear off the I-94 record from the approval notice, and the right half should be stapled in my passport. On which page of my passport should I staple the right half? Can I use a paper clip instead of a staple?
And at the US exit border, does the officer unstaple that part and keep it for themselves? Please advice me about the process at airport.

Any idea how (and if) shutdown affects PERM processing at DOL?
