Community stories
Haven translated the noise into a plan I could actually follow. The community examples mattered as much as the dates.

Layoff → F-1 → I-140 → back to H-1B
The timeline didn’t just tell me when things happened. It told me what to do now and what to ignore.

H-1B → O-1 → EB-1A
I could finally see what had to happen first, what could wait, and where premium processing actually changed the math.

The detailed H-1B library now lives in Resources, so layoffs, transfers, and decision workflows are easier to browse without getting mixed into the editorial blog stream.
I switched from H-1B to F-1 after a layoff. This is what the path cost me, what I had to decide under pressure, and why the spreadsheet mattered as much as the forms.
Most H-1B workers are not dealing with a total lack of information. They are dealing with too many partial tools that do not connect when layoffs, transfers, or deadlines hit.
A decision-oriented guide to comparing transfer, change-of-status, dependent, and departure paths after an H-1B layoff.
From the blog
The blog is where Haven publishes clear, tactical articles you can share, revisit, and update over time.
DOL's Wage Year 2026–27 data took effect July 1, raising prevailing wages in roughly 74% of occupations. Every new H-1B LCA and PERM filing must use the updated numbers — and under the wage-weighted lottery, even modest increases can shift selection odds.
The Department of Labor's latest regulatory agenda signals a sweeping modernization of the PERM labor market test — the first update to recruitment requirements in over two decades. Employers sponsoring EB-2 and EB-3 green cards should prepare for tighter recruitment mandates, new layoff safeguards, and digital-age hiring standards.
USCIS data shows 273,026 H-1B continuing-employment petitions approved in the first nine months of FY2026 — approaching last year's record of 291,542 with a full quarter remaining. Meanwhile, new cap-subject registrations have fallen roughly 38% year over year. What the divergence means for employers, attorneys, and H-1B holders.
