Yelp - Green card process

What's the process like ? I know that processing times depend on USCIS. But given how tech companies abuse immigration to retain employees, that's why I am asking How long does it take to get i-140 ? How long does it take to get green card after ? What's the lawyer firm they use ?

Got offers from yelp PayPal eBay and Adobe, and Salesforce. Want to go to a company who wouldn't be using immigration as a tactic to retain me. Apparently green card is a performance bonus these days. Sorry wasn't born in privelege

There’s that racism showing!

Saleaforce and adobe may be better ( based on what I heard from friends working there ) as at these mostly these processes are automatic and managers are more supportive to move the process ahead

Thanks so much !

Oracle definitely isn’t. I think Oracle should learn from other companies. Just wanted to say it even though OP didn’t get offer there.

Same applies to Walmart though it’s not automatic, it’s employee’s responsibility , they are expected to reach out to HR after 3 months

Thanks for the info. Do you mean 3 months after joining ?

I don’t think yelp is performance based. (I mean as long as you are doing your job) They just start your process after 6 month. I haven’t heard anyone having trouble from their managers on green card applications.

Thanks so much. So you're saying Yelp will start after 6 months ?

Yelp oukp30 Aug 11, 2019

yes, 6 month after your start date

My experience with them has been fine. You need manager approval to start the process. And for that you need good performance for at least 2 quarters (it varies). They only delayed me for two months while waiting to send put PERM recruitment ads cause they want to send them out in batches. It took me a year to get I140.

Yeah, the batch requirement is bullshit IMO, but it sounds like most companies do this.

Yelp can file on week 1, just negotiate
