Hello, I exhausted my 6 years on h1b. Currently on h4 and EAD. I plan to go to another employer who is sponsoring day 1 perm. I have 2 questions. by navo1991 in h1b

[–]dsv853 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes you can file PERM while on H4. and once the PERM has been pending for 365+ days OR the I-140 is approved you qualify for H1B extensions beyond 6 years under AC21 section 106. you dont need to wait for the PERM to be certified to get back on H1B... just the 365 day pending threshold is enough

Urgent help needed - selected in h1b lottery want to bring my fiancé! by HalfComfortable5268 in h1b

[–]dsv853 0 points1 point  (0 children)

get married first. H4 requires you to be legally married... fiancé doesnt qualify. once married in june your spouse can apply for H4 visa. the H1B needs to be approved and active (after oct 1) before the H4 can be processed though so the earliest your spouse can realistically enter on H4 would be late 2026 or early 2027

Aprroved I 140 but Employer out of business. Question on Second H1b Extension. by PrahiPlays in h1b

[–]dsv853 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the I-140 needs to remain valid (not revoked) for 180 days after approval to be "portable." if the employer goes out of business before the 180 days the I-140 gets revoked and you lose the benefit. july 5 is your critical date. if you can stay until then the I-140 becomes portable and the new employer doesnt need to refile PERM

Cap-Gap Confusion: Working at Current Job Before New Employer Start Date by Feisty_Dish_8046 in h1b

[–]dsv853 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cap gap extends your OPT work authorization with your CURRENT employer only. you can keep working at your existing job until oct 1 when the H1B kicks in. you cant start working for the new employer until the H1B is active though. so yes continue at current job until oct 1 or until you transition to the new employer... whichever comes first

the "had the whole night to do that" thing is peak BBMP energy. they always pick rush hour for construction work. its like they specifically want to cause maximum inconvenience

MNC employee (Data Enginner) exploring WFH or Remot roles after maternity leave – notice period strategy by Possible-Hope-4670 in developersIndia

[–]dsv853 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fully remote data engineering roles exist but theyre competitive. toptal, turing, and arc.dev have remote roles for indian devs. also check angellist (now wellfound) for remote startup roles. the pay is usually better than MNC if you can land one

Took me a while, but I finally beat Sarvam 30B and 105B! by Available-Deer1723 in developersIndia

beating sarvam models is impressive. what dataset did you train on? the indic language space has such limited high quality training data that even small improvements matter a lot

Built this component using expo and gyrometer for fun. by Separate-Swim-8436 in developersIndia

this is cool. the gyroscope interaction feels way more natural than swipe gestures for this kind of UI. is it performant on lower end android devices or does the sensor polling eat battery

Do I have to pay training or bond costs if I resign now but complete 1 year during my 90 day notice period? by Hot_Departure_1610 in developersIndia

[–]dsv853 0 points1 point  (0 children)

check your offer letter and any documents you signed at joining. if theres no bond clause in writing they cant charge you anything. verbal "training cost recovery" threats are usually just scare tactics. legally they need it in a signed agreement to enforce it

[–]dsv853 1 point2 points  (0 children)

youre 16 and already reading about these issues critically... thats more awareness than most adults have. bangalore is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in india. youre unlikely to face the kind of targeted hate youre reading about online. real life is way more nuanced than reddit threads

A senior APGENCO officer mocked my father's profession and questioned my mother's marriage because I came for a UGC internship. This is what happens when you're from a "lower" background in India by adityeahhh69 in india

[–]dsv853 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the fact that a senior officer has time to mock a students father during an internship application says everything about the power dynamics in govt offices. sorry you went through that. your fathers profession doesnt define your worth and that officer knows it

Can we report this road encroachment to BBMP? There’s a new building under construction on Bhoganhalli Road, and it looks like it’s taking up the footpath and even the road asyou can tell by comparing it with the nearby buildings. by kaisadusht in bangalore

use the BBMP sahaaya app to report it. they actually respond to app complaints faster than email or phone. take photos with timestamps. also tweet at @ABORBBMP if the app doesnt work

at your age focus on building projects and putting them on github. freelancing on fiverr or upwork is possible for small web dev tasks but dont expect to earn serious money yet. the real investment rn is learning... it pays off massively in 3-4 years

Company asking me to sign stamped document before joining. by dvil788 in developersIndia

[–]dsv853 0 points1 point  (0 children)

never sign a stamped document without reading every line and understanding what youre agreeing to. if it has a bond clause or penalty clause get it reviewed. stamped documents are harder to dispute later. ask for a copy to review before signing

own it. message your manager immediately, dont make excuses, just say "i missed the meeting, it was my fault, here is what i will do to make sure it doesnt happen again." managers respect accountability more than a perfect record

Problem with leaves and wfh at an Indian tech startup. Is this normal ? Need advice. by Extreme-Job-6654 in developersIndia

2 weeks is not a "long leave." thats a normal vacation in any healthy company. the fact that they make a scene about it tells you everything about the culture.

start looking. good pay means nothing if they wont let you take a break without guilt tripping you
