I’m about to accept an offer with Microsoft. I’m on H1B currently and would like to get started with GC process immediately. Does MSFT start process immediately or does that have to be as a term in offer?

If your team does daily standups, your manager is a micromanager
PERM takes 6 months unless it is audited. I140 with premium processing is 14 days
I agree, but is Microsoft that fast from their end?
Yes
MS has the best immigration policy in the entire industry. As long as your manager is supportive MS provides the best immigration. My perm process started exactly after 60 days
Sounds great. Thank you.
Did your manager allow for premium processing of perm?
Microsoft is one of a few companies that are willing to file green card even you are on opt status.
I joined on October and my priority date was in September of following year. Was actually delayed became I took time in responding or else it would have been earlier
What about AOS? Does Microsoft ask you to wait until you be promoted to a certain SDE level? Do they finish GC AOS for entry level engineers like L59/L60?
Msft is really quick when it comes to filing GC. The process gets started within 45 days. You can always ask your manager to expedite it
Awesome. And how is their immigration process overall? Just want to know how much time it takes for PERM on avg
Things are currently on hold over there.
