Two questions here, I already have my h1b, if I transfer to FAANG, will they start my green card process on day one? And how long does it take from starting PERM to getting I140?
Dude! Irrespective to whether you take a business class seat or an economy seat, we all reach the destination at the same time. Make sense?
Haha. This one
Where are your from?
FNG start first day, Amazon is a big iffy, they usually only do it for SDE2 but can negotiate for SDE1, Apple no idea. From starting PERM to GC in hand is 1.5 years if you're lucky, 2 years on average. Different ball game for China/India.
Same as anywhere
It's definitely not the same everywhere. Many companies do it on day 1 (like Facebook), some file after 1 year of work (most IT companies) and some file in the 6th year of H1 (like Amazon). I am sharing this info based my conversations with recruiters, internal policies do change all the time.
Fb doesn't start on day 1. FB requires new hires to complete bootcamp - so after 2 months you can start the process. Microsoft and Google will start on day 1. Amazon is the worst. They won't start green card until you are sde2
