So I have 3 years to go before my h1b is expired I was at a startup already doing green card processing. Then I got into Google and with that sweet 2.5x TC, I moved here. Then the promised day1 greencard is cancelled because Google had a layoff. Fast forward, Google is still not resuming perm application (the first step to greencard) when literally every big tech has resumed. Should I be worried
They laid you off.
Yep, like a slow clap, slow layoff in slo mo…
As long as Google and move you out and back you good
👆 this!
When will they resume
Go back to the startup bro
TC ?
3 yrs is long but 2 yrs is the limit anyone will give you a job and start perm and finish i140. So start looking for a new job rn.
Sorry
How far along were you in the PERM at the start up?
You didnt plan well. Work with google to see what options you have. This is something you have to push.
If they don’t start in a year, you are in trouble then. Make sure you have other offers lined up at the end of 1 year from now.
This is facts
@OP you have to also consider, many companies won’t hire / start GC if you have less than 2 yrs left on H1. These companies don’t really care about you. You’re just a cog in the machine. You have to care about you and make hay while the sun is shining. Maybe start working on the Canadian backup… Having options at the end of the day is a good thing
