Hi guys, I am confused, please help.
I just graduated (P.h.d) and have an offer from Google ( L4 ). On the other hand I have another fulltime offer ( Govt research lab ) that might get me a green card (EB1B) within 3-4 years.

The dilemma is between money and green card. 4 year job at Google means $$$ but with the other offer I would be earning maximum 90 to 130k per year for 4 years ( with a high probability of getting a green card within 4 years ).

Ultimate aim is to open multiple businesses and earn $$. I want to get out of this H1B slavery thing and be independent.

Which is better in the long run, please poll!!

PS : I am an Indian.
Please guide me with your suggestions.

  • I donโ€™t think any employment based category will give you green card in 4 years. As an Indian you should expect around 6-7 years as EB1 is severely backlogged

    Take my advice. If your parents r not all that strict with the arranged marriage thing then marry someone local non Indian. Join Google, get i140 so that using cross chargeable priority date u can use her/his nationality and get GC sooner. My friend fell in love with a Bangladeshi girl who was on H1b and did this recently. Lucky bugger.

  • Google should also get you a green card in Eb1 if you have a PhD.

    If you see yourself establishing your life here then you need the gc.
    You get that gc and then you will be on the fastrak to ๐Ÿ’ต ๐Ÿ’ต ๐Ÿ’ต
    Besides, you wonโ€™t be getting paid 5 digits. 130 ainโ€™t bad.

    • Your inexperience with the real world outside of PhD bunker is so apparent. Hold your horses.

      Saw1saw - with GC you have no limitations. Especially given OPs experience and expertise

    • Artificially odd sounding grammar and forced incorrect punctuation (including misspelling PhD by a PhD), 0yoe G L4 claiming to want to do "multiple non tech businesses", exactly zero mention of work interest for someone with a PhD...
