H1B premium processing suspension wait is killing me!

I’ve got an offer from Apple back in September and waiting on the transfer to be approved. I don’t do shit at my current work and surf the web all day long, hardly work for 30 minutes in a day (team is laid back as well) I feel useless being so damn unproductive, been a top performer for the last 2 years and not enjoying this time of my career. Anybody else in the same boat? Tc: 250k

I hear you man. Same here but can’t take the risk of joining on receipt. Feels like the modern day prison!

Where you heading at?

Facebook Actually have two transfer applications (Walmart and Facebook) obviously will join Facebook but in case things go south for Facebook and Walmart is approved - will join Walmart. Yes, I accepted both the offers but hey it’s not my fault completely. If premium was still on it would have been way simpler.

The wait is rewarding. You will get stock on sale

Yes maybe but I’m losing on monthly base salary significantly. Got a 60k bump on my base, 6 months wait meaning loss of real 30k cash

I am in same boat with an offer in hand since September. Hoping premium processing will open up in February and I will ask them to change my application to premium. The wait is killing me. Sometimes I have an urge to join as I already have receipt.

After today's news I would consider twice before going to work for them. Good luck though!

Just wonder what if the transfer failed after joined on receipt, will they place you in an abroad office? So you can wait in your home country for example while waiting to get the visa?
