IS PERM CURRENTLY PAUSED AT FACEBOOK DUE TO OFFICE CLOSURES ? Do they wait for a certain time before they start your process ? What if you're a new hire with an H1b ? Do they start the process immediately if you're a new hire with h1b ? Do they do your green card once you have H1-B ? Can they start the process without an H1-B ? Let's say you're on OPT ? (I know we need to have enough time on OPT). Can we obtain the green card without an H1b if we have no plans to travel ? How responsive are the lawyers when you send out an email to them ? How soon do they respond back ? Is there any current delay in processing in any of the steps due to COVID ? NOTE: I am not born in India nor China
They start immediately. within a month of me joining the company the process was started.
Can you share timelines ?
I have no clue about the process of green card from opt. But the lawyers are pretty responsive. Usually they will answer within 2 days. There are definitely delays from government side but you need to talk to lawyers for an update on time line.
