Hey guys, i got an offer from Google in early August, and the start date was originally set to mid-October. But there was some delay in my visa transfer and i can only join in mid November now. The HM reached out earlier asking about the transfer progress and i told him about this, as well as the recruiter, but i haven’t heard back from either of them. I’m super anxious if they are gna pull my offer because of the delay. Does anyone know if 3+ months is an acceptable waiting time at Google? And has this happened to anyone?

During covid, delays are not held against you
I hope so! Hope they reply soon.
The delay was not done by you. So you should be alright. Hiring Manager probably also knows as he can internally check with immigration team
It should be totally fine. I took 4 months due to COVID and h1b transfer before joining Google even though my manager was looking for someone to join asap during the team match.
That’s reassuring. Thanks for the data point
Rescinding an offer requires VP+ approval and usually doesn’t happen. An extra month or two is fine but longer wait might be an issue.
Team/role?
I’m SWE. Sorry i’d rather not say which team
No worries! Mine took 2-3 months as well. Don’t worry
