Just spreading the word out. If you're an immigrant in US with Microsoft offer, don't bother coming as Microsoft Immigration scene is a shit show right now. No matter whether you are hoping to get H1B, PERM for EB2 or even EB1.
Can you elaborate?
Yea elaborate and explain? Are you generalizing based on your bad experience?
.Internal yammer has all the news that is affecting lot of my colleagues and new hires
You are replying to an Intel employee that internal yammer has all the information? You sound like an idiot and are a disgrace to be hired by Microsoft.
Long delays, abrupt policy changes, pausing PERM program at the eleventh hour for everyone in the company including EB1
What policy changes
Thanks for sharing OP.
Layoffs coming...
Usually technical management have no idea or don’t care about the immigration process I’m pretty sure there’s a legal team who just need manager approvals for budget purposes - without explaining what went wrong with your case and simple spreading the wrong word isn’t fair. What policies changes ? What information are you requesting the management ? Asking them when will you get PERM? 😄 I have an offer from MS and HR said PERM will be started 60days after start date.
Nope, that’s not going to happen unless you are in immediate need of PERM i.e. your stay in the US is mostly going to get affected if they do not file right away. The policy is around creating 3-4 labor market test slots over a year and prioritizing people on some criteria which is not limited to the above reason. It also includes the immigration team being short on people.
@intel, they said the same to me
Why?
Check internal yammer
Tell me. I’m not checking yammer
