Meta is a good company which usually takes care of employees. However, this is an extremely bad deadlock situation with the Department of Labor.

There are thousands of employees stuck and every week we have new folks joining who had no idea about this situation when they signed the offers. I feel terrible for them.

Feel free to checkout previous threads on this topic or ask any questions below.

  • Why did DoL single out Meta? Did Meta do something wrong?

      DOL does this from time to time. In this case, DOL found that Meta’s recruitment practices discriminated against qualified US citizens and favored people on visas.

      Interesting, was it the recruiting sourcing process or hiring (interview) process that was found to be discriminatory?

    I’m starting with Meta soon and I asked this question to the immigration team and they mentioned that everything is resolved, just that the odds of the perm undergoing audit is 40% which can add a 6 month delay, however they expect everything else to be resolved.

      OP
      Recruiters are incentivized to close candidates and not turn them away. I’m deep into this issue and in regular touch with Meta’s immigration team. Nevertheless, you will find out the reality once you join anyways.

      So you want to believe lies that is upto you.
      Multiple people have already shared the reality.

      If you care about green card join else where. If you are ok with uncertainty with green card then join.

      Share the exact wording here if you want us explain what it means.

      The last PERM approval was 18 months back.
      The last PERM application was filed 6 months back.

      Starting PERM application means nothing when they are not going to file. They are yet to update the recruitment process per the settlement.

    Yes many employees have left.
    There was badge post yesterday that called out PERM issues as the only reason.
