Posting on behalf of a friend who’s currently unemployed. He is talking to attorneys for legal advice but wanted to see if I can get any crowd intelligence from the Blinders who might have been in similar situation. * He was laid off within a week of H1B expiring and is currently awaiting H1B->H4 COS as a dependent on his wife (on H1B no GC). The grace period was only a week so it was not possible for him to get new employment right away. * His old employer had filed for an extension and it was recently approved but he’s no longer employed with them. The employer did not withdraw that petition. * he is expecting a few offers but is unsure of how the visa situation would work. * Can his new employers use the non withdrawn petition to simply file for a transfer? * He wants to avoid flying to India amid COVID. Can he go to Canada/Mexico for a drop box if they have to do a consular H1B petition? Thanks in Advance all. #travel #h1b #layoffs #covid19 #workvisa
Give me your million dollar faang savings and i will give you gc in three years
lol not everyone on Blind has FAANG savings. Plus I’m not dying for a GC. And this friend of mine is in TX so pretty sure they’re not making a million dollars either. 🤷♂️
He can go to Canada or Mexico for a closer consulate, Mexico has fewer restrictions for travel but try Canada if possible
Will pass this along. Do you know if the embassies in Canada/Mexico are open yet?
