It starts immediately. You need to talk to your manager about this. This is true for SWE, but I am assuming should be the case for other roles as well.

Yes, you can send email to immigration@ and cc your manager on day1 and they will start GC process right away.

But need to wait for months for a message from the attorney.

@kwueu I’ve seen 10 people on my larger team all apply for GC and they were all responded to within 5 business days from the attorney...

i waited for at least two months. The, attorney spent two weeks to copy paste job description I gave him, with three errors. I pointed them out. They spent another two weeks, three rounds to fix them one by one, then changed the first one back. I would rather hire one by, myself if I had choice

Google, Facebook, Netflix: On day zero. Not sure about others. Cisco has a 90 days grace period, but you can negotiate that.

There is no Day 0, Day1 :) at Day0 you wouldn’t have completed I-9 verification. Anyway, amazon changed policy and started sponsoring GC on day1 even for SDE-I, used to be 6 months and minimum SDE-II; exceptions needed VP approval

@OP hope you get your GC in 80 years :)
