I put my resignation and my current company provided a counter offer. Counter offer matches salary with new company and also my current company told me they will start the green card processing immediately. I have another 3 years of time remaining in current H1B period and new company agreed to start after 1 year. The advantages of going to new company is I’ll get different exposure and learn new things, but couldn’t decide either to stay with counter offer or to leave because of green card processing, please suggest which is the best option to take.

Current TC - 110K
New TC - 140K

      Right here is the best answer. After you agree to stay, they may drag their feet on the GC. If it were a priority for them, they would have started on it before you threatened to leave.

      If you’re that close, I wouldn’t risk it. There’s no absolute guarantee the new company will play ball, either, but there’s far less reason to suspect the new company will fuck you over than the old one.

      The $30k/year seems largely irrelevant comparatively speaking.

  • Counter offer is to make sure to keep the ball(team) running meanwhile they will start hiring someone to replace you.
    No second thoughts, join the new company.

    Move. You’ll be on the hook. Negotiate with new company to start the tc process right away.

  • Join the new company for sure. Even if you stay, they'll think you're a flight risk
