    This is true. And they cap limit how many perm to be filed in each batch only favoring whose work authorization is in danger or whose perm process has taken for long. Don’t join. This company’s green card policy is a piece of shit.

      I guess it’s reasonable for new grads to wait. 6 months isn’t too bad

      As much I understand, part of the reason is that 6 months is bounded by the h1b start date of 1st Oct (assuming no RFE) for all new grads. As soon as you have active i797 based work authorization, the process will start for any L4 and above.

    Be careful if you're yet to join Microsoft and have an offer. Microsoft Immigration rescinds a majority of offers.

      That’s interesting news. I wonder if the immigration team will be Blamed by a bunch of hiring teams, lol, for losing talents just because of their stupid policy.

    If it is true, they will lose a lot of employees, especially all the immigrants out there, this also gives the employees a reason to leave the company and start looking and get into FANG.

    Come on ! You will have 6 years (3+3) to start your PERm! If MSFT is giving a good profile why not take it ? Leave MSFT after 2-3 years then apply your PERM somewhere else ! Don’t be so obsessed with visa !

    This is disturbing news. I was planning to accept and join Microsoft in July as new grad. Now thinking if I should start considering other offers.
