I have an offer from FB London, I'd like to stay in London for 1 year then go to the US on L1. How long does the entire process take from the date I join in London, including team matching in the US and visa application to the date I travel to the US? Given that I want to minimize the stay in London.
FB allows you to transfer team after 12m on a team, whether within site or across sites. So generally 2m bootcamp + 12m on a team + any extra time period required by your current team for you to handover/finish up. Likely 14-18m total.
Very helpful. Thanks!
For L1 visa you have to work atleast for 1 year before applying for visa. This is applicable for all companies. Then only they can prove that you have company specific knowledge.
I understand. I was asking more about the whole timeline.
It depends. If you come to the us for business trip this time will be excluded from 1 y calculations. Now with so many blanket applications denied, it can take longer. You also need to interview and get an offer from the US based team (I think it was a case for my FB friend as well but not 100) and that they should be ready to offer international relocation and ready to wait. With amazon internally - look in job finder if a role has “international relocation”

I am starting to think Chinese interviewers currently fail non-Chinese candidates on purpose.
Any ideas on average how many months? Given that I'll try to start looking for a team before completing 1 year.
If you’re a UK citizen and everything goes smoothly probably 4 mths.
