Microsoft immigration policies

Just spreading the word out. If you're an immigrant in US with Microsoft offer, don't bother coming as Microsoft Immigration scene is a shit show right now. No matter whether you are hoping to get H1B, PERM for EB2 or even EB1.

Microsoft d2009t228 OP Apr 11, 2019

Check internal yammer

Microsoft xVeQ24 Apr 11, 2019

Tell me. Iā€™m not checking yammer

Intel bau Apr 11, 2019

Can you elaborate?

Intel no_name? Apr 11, 2019

Yea elaborate and explain? Are you generalizing based on your bad experience?

Microsoft d2009t228 OP Apr 11, 2019

.Internal yammer has all the news that is affecting lot of my colleagues and new hires

Microsoft Pickbot Apr 11, 2019

You are replying to an Intel employee that internal yammer has all the information? You sound like an idiot and are a disgrace to be hired by Microsoft.

Microsoft d2009t228 OP Apr 11, 2019

Long delays, abrupt policy changes, pausing PERM program at the eleventh hour for everyone in the company including EB1

Amazon Lollol Apr 11, 2019

EB1 doesnā€™t have to go through perm. Stop fear mongering.

Amazon andybanana May 6, 2023

lmao this, EB1 doesnt even have PERM

eBay lllgd Apr 11, 2019

Please explain !!! Why would you give half information

Microsoft d2009t228 OP Apr 11, 2019

Bcz management has stopped responding to information requests from employees. No one from management has shown transperancy and explanation about abrupt changes

Microsoft wave šŸ„ā€ā™‚ļø Apr 11, 2019

Usually happens before layoffs.

eBay lllgd Apr 11, 2019

What policy changes

Dropbox systest Apr 11, 2019

Thanks for sharing OP.

Google catburglar Apr 11, 2019

Layoffs coming...

Intel no_name? Apr 11, 2019

Usually technical management have no idea or donā€™t care about the immigration process Iā€™m pretty sure thereā€™s a legal team who just need manager approvals for budget purposes - without explaining what went wrong with your case and simple spreading the wrong word isnā€™t fair. What policies changes ? What information are you requesting the management ? Asking them when will you get PERM? šŸ˜„ I have an offer from MS and HR said PERM will be started 60days after start date.

Microsoft ParxAve Apr 11, 2019

Nope, thatā€™s not going to happen unless you are in immediate need of PERM i.e. your stay in the US is mostly going to get affected if they do not file right away. The policy is around creating 3-4 labor market test slots over a year and prioritizing people on some criteria which is not limited to the above reason. It also includes the immigration team being short on people.

@intel, they said the same to me

Microsoft kkdbdghe Apr 11, 2019

Which Yammer group should I check? #new

Microsoft Tier 1 Apr 22, 2019
