Hi Blinders, Apple wants to give me an offer for a ICT3 role. My recuitor was asking for my start date but I didnt want to answer that question until I get a better sense of the H1b transfer process. How did you guys specifiy the start date when the transfer approval date isnt known? Should I only join once I get an approval notice? shich takes about ~2weeks with preimium processing right?
Your recruiter would know better than you. Even if you give a start date of next Monday the recruiter wont accept it since they are fully aware of the process. So don’t overthink and let the recruiter handle it. So just say 2 weeks after the approval.
Thanks for the tip. I said that and he seemed to be freaking out a little when I did. He told me but that could take months :S
Should I be more specific and say 2 weeks after the approval notice which takes ~2 weeks ?
You can give some tentative date and tell them it could vary based on your H1B approval.
You can give a joining day after 6 weeks from now. That can later be adjusted. And i would say you switch the job only after getting h1b transfer approved. Lot of ppl are getting rfe these days. And i have seen denial for FAANGs as well.
Just say 2 weeks after H1B transfer gets approved. That’s it.
Wen u say approved you mean an approval notice right?
I’m asking cuz I said smth similar but he didn’t like it and he said but that’s gonna take months
What everybody said. Companies will always try to make you join sooner. Just be confident n affirmative in stating your timeline.
Tell him asap as H1B gets approved. Tell him that usually it takes 4 weeks from start to the end without rfe. If you get rfe then it will jeopardize your status in the US.
Rfe wont jeopardize but denial would definitely
That's what I meant actually. These days straight denial and RFE and then denial are very high for entry level roles.
Joining date = 2 weeks after I get the H1b approval on USCIS website.
Hey, How long did it take Fragomen to file the application from the day the received all the docs? My start date is in May. Hoping things would alleviate a little by then.
