Be careful with #H1B extensions or amendments as USCIS is checking applications deeply to find flaws. An RFE when your home address is to too far from work location:

Many newspapers have reported today that #H4EAD revoke rule is coming out in May 2019. I don't think this is true as this date has always been shown on each DHS Spring, fall agenda in past 2 years. We are still waiting for the rule to be published!

#H4EAD lawsuit in court has much higher chance of saving H4 EAD from revocation than the H4 Employment protection act in congress.

Eshoo & Lofgren;s bill only has 2 co-sponsors with virtually no detailed text! Are they serious?

#HR1044 has achieved 297 co-sponsors, which makes it eligible for voting & debate on floor.

200 Democrats+ 95 Republicans now support d removal of Green card country limits.
Good news for legal workers especially frm India & China.

USCIS will start rejecting #H1B applications from Aug 5, 2019 that does not have employer's primary US address on form I-129.

Do not use third party client work location address.

Another blog just shared the H4 approval copy after biometrics. Looks like only 1 person got approval.

I have shared details here:

I did a small article on what to do when you first land in USA and start your life on H1B or any work visa.

I have covered the important steps of opening bank account, getting secured credit card for credit history and starting driving history for insurance as primary steps.

Do share your views and your tips for newcomers. I will add it to article with your name.
Share with your friends who are making it through H1B lottery this year.

Many of you already know but sharing for others who just had their morning coffee:

2. SAI LAXMI KAULLU from Pennsylvania
3. SAI DURGAM VASAVI from Georgia
4. SREE VINDHYA NAGANDLA of Illinois

News just came in:
#H1B premium processing is now open for consular processing April lottery selected applications starting June 10, 2019.

I strongly suggest to upgrade to avoid extremely long delays in H1B approvals. You will earn more than what you will spend on Premium fees if you come early to US. Simple.

First #H4EAD approval after Biometrics in 2 months of #H4 fingerprinting on Apr 11, 2019.

You will not believe some of the Form 221g reasons.
I have collected the list based on all the real cases that have been asked on our groups and forums.

The most recent is the H1B form 221(g) for not declaring food items at port of entry with CBP during earlier entry!
Can you believe it?

US embassy is acting like your mother-in-law to cherry pick issues with your application. Beware.

https://www.am22tech.com/form-221g-reasons/

Users share real life #form221g experience. White form 221g issued for #H1B stamping in Ottawa, ON, Canada. Applicant asked to appear for second interview after verifying job details with end client.

#H4EAD

US is thinking about placing a country based limit on Indian H1B visas to 15% of total 85K.

This is being done to threaten India to take back the law where US companies are required to store data locally in Indian servers.

US also wants to push Indian govt. to take back their increased import duties that Indian raised last week!

As I said, we will win this semi-final! @RepZoeLofgren, @RepKenBuck, @CongressmanRaja @RepJayapal @RepNewhouse @RoKhanna @RepJohnCurtis batted well while maintaining d required run rate to win the crucial match. Indians are happy today!
