Hi fam, Apple recently got flagged and the perm process now would take 3-5 years, if you have not passed the advertising phase. So I’m thinking to go to Nvidia. I’m a physical designer. How long would be the permit process in Nvidia now? TC: 280K yoe: 5
Why do you say it will take 3-5 years?
Does this mean anyone who joins Apple on H1B will not be able to file PERM for 3-5 years?
Why would it take 3-5 years? Do you mind sharing the details?
After the DOJ decision, many Apple employees’ PERM process get impacted. We had a meeting and was informed that the process will be more “restricted” but no more details can be shared. The lump sum of impact becomes a longer processing time. It is officially 2+ years and with Fragomen’s usual performance, 3-5 years is expected. We have seen the processing time of every step doubled than their promise and this happens to 10+ people we know. Although this impact and meeting is limited to a small group, I believe the same impact can happen to anyone who newly start the perm process. Bottom line is that the process is now more restrict and you better off preparing for the worst case
I had the meeting and the impact is none. The time it takes longer is due to pwd for Indians. That’s just normal. And they take their sweet time because even if you got your perm and i140, your wait time for eb2/3 gc is 200 years.
Op is bullshitting. Op I suggest you talk to fragomen. They said this will have no impact.
Well I might be a bit too worried but can we come back to the original question… just wanna hear what the perm process look like in Nvidia. Thanks everyone!
any luck finding out about this?
Nope
@op FWIW, I don't think you are too worried. Your concern is legitimate. I have seen this a few times at different companies. Anything with the DOL usually slows PERM processing by a few years. And it adds an exponential delay to the GC time for backlogged countries. But, I can't comment on what it means for the Apple case
