Uh oh: President Trump leads Biden 49% to 43% in a two-way race.
I heard one of the company put hold on verbal offer and not sending official offer which they were suppose to send on Last Wednesday. First, they didn’t replied and then on Friday sent email that your offer is on hold because of new h1b rules. #workvisa #h1b
LCA and PERM is on hold for filing. Company still figuring out.
In deep shit, current job terminates on October 15th due to site closure. Pending offers on hold due to this shit.
Was your base close to new h1b rules?
It was close to the new h1b rules for my current wage level. However, the pending offer seems to fall into wage level 4 based on the number of years of experience required and the numbers are way off for wage level 4.
Stuck for 4 to 5 months until rule get overturn.
Yes, no h1 can change now until this is resolved
Yes, will impact h1, PERM and GC as well.
Wage level 4 have hard requirements counting base salary only . This could have ease if included stocks.
No h1b can extend visa or switch until new h1b rule is revoked
How do you know this? Why will all lawyers just pause on going H1B applications?
If the rule says the salary should be 100 , why would someone file h1 with 60 and get their application rejected. Why to waste h1b filling fees and lawyer fees to get your application rejected
This rule is all about election gimmicks and will get overturn soon. Hardly company will be able to match with base salary only.
Definitely it's going to be tough for consulting companies and shady Indian companies. Most of the top product companies should be able to match it without any issues whatsoever. Product startups might also face issues here and there but anyways they don't rely on new grads. All in all it's a well-balanced bill but it will be rejected.
Not well-balanced bill. Amazon pay base salary and stocks. Counting base salary only to decide wage level doesn't make sense. Hardly few company can match 230k + base salary for level 4 .
No company would do anything right now. It’s not possible practically. So, they will file for an injunction or whatever that it and move on with old stuff.
So i am in the middle of a hiring process. Im on opt with 2 attempts left. I am highly concerned if that is going to impact my hiring
You may be okay for now as you are in opt
I asked the company to sponsor me in future. I shouldnt have mentioned about h1b at all
What is the new level 4 base pay for San Francisco oakland county.. SDE
So it is really happening now
The reason is with the current offered salary, h1b will be surely rejected. So they put the offer in hold until they decide what to do with h1b’s now
But for sure, the life is going to be tough in US for h1b’s
