There have been a few posts here on Blind warning about backlogged PERM queue at Meta. The last post implied that even though the case was settled with DOJ last October, there is no positive movement (PERM approval) yet. - Is this true? Has there been any PERM approval yet? - How risky is joining Meta for someone who could possibly have their PD become current in next couple of years? TC: 220k #greencard #perm
I thought there was a 36 month waiting period after settlement for no new PERM.
Lol .. then no one in H1B will join Meta unless their priority date is 2020 and beyond . This seems too harsh.
@suge$5d where did you get this info. Nothing mentioned in the settlement about 36 months waiting period https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/1443336/download
My interpretation was that their PERM filings may get audited for some time (36 months) but they should be able to file new PERM cases.
I got an offer from Meta and i really want to join. I got H1B valid till 2026. Will I be able to file perm/i140 and get approved before 2026?
Same question.
If the money is good take it ..2026 is a long time worst case you can switch in 2025 to a new company which immediately processes PERM all this provided priority date is beyond 2015. But joining meta for someone who doesnt have an approved I-140 from previous employer could be a bad move if you want to continue to stay in the US .
Couple of years should be fine but would not join if its going to be current in a year ..Bec worst case of perm is generally 2 years so you should be fine.
Yeah, 2 years is the delay I am assuming also. I wonder what happens if you don’t get new PERM approved with Meta and your PD becomes current? Can you keep extending your H1B based on old, approved I-140?
Oui.
