When should law firm initiate the 3 year extension? My current H1B is valid until Sep 2021

6 months before but they start collecting documents early.

Ok - question, when should I talk to my hr/management about extension? Now is appropriate time? Since it’s only 1,5 years left?

Thanks!

6 month before your current expires. But if you are initiating a LCA for a new location within a year before your current expires, you can attach your extension with it, which gives you 6 months lead time to deal with whatever shit that's going on...
Hopefully in 2021 things will quiet down a bit

Hello friends on H1B.
Had filed an amendment for current client. got RFE in sept and now got denial.
What does that mean? Do I have to leave the country? or can I still work on previous LCA?

Its amazing how many shaadi.com or bharatmatrimony.com profiles in the US start with 'Only open to Citizens/Green, Card Holders, non-indian born H1B'.

There's a country-based clear pecking order for men and women which is truly entertaining to watch 😄
