Being ghosted by employers after interviews has become incredibly common. What’s your personal rule for when you stop expecting a response? I usually give it a month of inactivty, whether it's from application, or from any of the levels of the interviews.

I feel if they are interested, they will call right away to offer a position. I mean, why would they wait a month or even two weeks?

Having been a hiring manager before, I've had to wait 2+ weeks before calling a successful candidate which is not the experience I wanted to give, but executive leadership which makes the final decision on whether I can officially fill my role takes a lot of long golfing getaways.

I’m maxing out the 6th year for H1b and my I-140 just got approved. 1 month ago, my employer has filed a h1b extension but it is based on the approved PERM instead of the 140, and only asked for one-year extension. In that case, after 6 months (180 days i140 rule to avoid employer’s revoke), will I be able to switch employers even though the renewed H1b gonna expire soon at that time?
