Does it make sense to make a move now if I only have 2 years on H1B without an approved I 140?
being this close, it feels like leap of faith either way, both at Deloitte or new employer as well.
Anyone has came out successfully out of this dilemma?

As long as the new employer is willing to start the GC process within 6 months of you joining, you should be fine.

Your best bet is a good tech firm that ll do it immediately. I joined D with about 2.7 years remaining on my h1b and they never applied my gc and then I was let go. In a situation now where no employer will sponsor because I have less than two years. A ton of firms will say no if you have less than 2 years left

But at the same time no tech firm or other firms are ready to file or even guarantee GC filing in current situation. All am getting feedback is that they feel 24 months are good enough time to file i140 on time and this is the exact feedback I get from Deloitte too

I’m on the same boat, I honestly feel so stuck in this job. I was exploring the market only to hear “sorry H1B, you have less than 2 years. Can’t do much here.”

I was banking on moving internally to a different line of service to get started on GC, but due to current situation, the transfer is also cloudy.

But I decided to move regardless. Even if it’s in Europe or Asia, with credentials You and I have, I’m sure we will find a job. Life is short and the world is big. I decided not to hold myself because of Visa.

Wishing you the best luck mate.
