Green card filing process at Microsoft

Mar 10, 2020 19 Comments

Has anyone here has Microsoft filed for his PERM while still on F1 OPT and can give me some insight of the process?

I recently received a new grad offer from Microsoft and considering joining. I’m from a country which doesn’t have a long wait line for GC and have another offer from Oracle OCI so trying to negotiate with MSFT to start my PERM process early (I’m getting my MS degree so I should be eligible). However, the recruiter said she does not work on this and that I will receive more guidance from the legal team after joining.

Any advice on what should I do? Should I just accept the offer and wait for MSFT to file for my PERM application? How long does it usually take? Really want to have a piece of mind here.

Microsoft SWE offer TC 153k, Bellevue
Oracle OCI IC2 offer TC 181k, Santa Clara
YoE 0.5
