all the paperwork for gc was filed for Sr SWE. Now that I’m transfering to an SRE role to a diff company, how is it going to impact the transfer and gc process? the lawyers in the current company were very precise about the wordings while filing. Also, how does the size of the company impact the h1b transfer/gc process?
You will anyways need to restart the GC process with the new firm .... only the priority date ( after 180 days of approval ) is portable nothing else .... unless you plan to go back to the previous employer once priority date becomes current.
Ah that’s what I was trying to find out, would I be holding on to the priority date. does restarting the mean again going thru get letters from previous employers etc. again? It was a hassle to reach out to people with whom you have worked such long time back - doing that again would be difficult.
You can use the letter from your first application , but you’ll need letters from your last employer ... everything else has to be repeated for your current position .... PS - will you really let 1 week’s ( or even one month’s) worth of trouble hold you back in a job for god knows how long ( if you’re indian )
