    This is against equal opportunity law. They can never reject you because of visa. Fight back bro

  • Wtf. Usually you can move on receipt. I moved companies during the last premium processing suspension.

      Make sure you never have a risk accruing more than 6 months of (continuous) unlawful presence. More than 6 months is an automatic 3-year ban.
      And I suggest getting an advice from a good attorney so you know all the possible outcomes and what to do in each of them.

    While I sympathize with you, please keep in mind a work visa is not the same as permanent residency. And every country has the right to revise its immigration policies, change rules based on their social, political, economic needs, through democratic process, assuming it's a democratic country :). What would have been more fair is to provide more notice for making changes such as these as it impacts planning for a lot of people, instead of making effective in 2 weeks on Sep 11. Or else hire more people in USCIS but then clearly there is an intent to reduce immigration else by adding people also backlog can be cleared :)

    This is fucking bad. Fuck these immigration policies. I wish we had more choices and better infrastructure in my home country so that I wouldn't have to live at the mercy of these dumb people from USCIS who make these dictatorial policies. I had been studying hard for last 3 months and when I've cleared 2 phone screens from FANG and waiting for remaining two Phone screens now I'm not sure if they would continue with the process or reject giving some other reason.

      Yeah. Additionally handling the extra work load and interviews preparation along with my health problems have made things so much harder. He's also made it really hard for me to take even half a day off so I have to chose between my onsite interviews. And now I need to deal up with this visa shit making things worse. Sorry I needed to vent😣
