Worked on H1B for 5years for two employers. My current H1B extension petition was denied after a RFE. Employer won’t appeal or refile the petition for at least a year. Stories/Advice from other firms?

I’m working on my Canadian PR. Already received the invite. But IBM won’t transfer me there because there aren’t enough openings. But I’d love to know about openings at other firms in Canada.

Yes. Employer is transferring me offshore with 1/10th the pay package and ‘promising’ to get me back after an year on H1b. Which means no written commitment or obligation really. L1 is even harder to get so that’s out of question. I wish I knew what other firms are doing for employees in such situations

Thanks EY. I am frustrated but not angry. I totally disagree with the words “I should be thankful for what they’re doing”. I’m handling my Canadian PR myself. The least they can do is get me an offer from Canada. The wages are at least comparable. I can keep paying my debts. It’s not that there isn’t any business in Canada in any department. And it’s not that I haven’t served and delivered when required. I’ve won 6 awards in the last 3 years traveling 75% of the time. Never asked for a raise. Nor for any special treatment. But when I really needed something, I can’t get anything close to it. But you’re right about focusing on what needs to be done. I am constantly looking for options and opportunities.

Sorry to hear OP. Based on what I know and understand, PwC files with a tweaked application in case of denial

I am sorry to hear that OP. You have all right to feel angry.

Complementing what PwC 1 was saying, is common for PwC staff to be transferred to the UK or to their home country before coming back to the US as an internal transfer.

That being said, I do not think that this is done in writing. All cases I heard involved the support from partners.

Hi everyone, I am looking for advice on getting to the same company but in a different country. I had an internship at multinational FMCG company in purchasing in country 1 (5 ys ago).
