I got H1B Visa and 83000 USD dollar petition amount as annual package.I am confused as this amount will be enough to survive there with wife and 7 year old daughter.My wife is working here and together we are earning 50LPA annual.We are settled here by owning house too.Confusion is my wife will not be able to work there on H4 Visa so the kind of life we are living here will not be possible there.Thoughts?Suggestions?Pros and Cons?

The answer is yes cases have started before a year but it is pretty rare. Even with PPED approvals the V&I team is slow and the Law team is slower.
Here is my timeline from start if it helps you plan. Once GC process kicks off:
1.5 months for forms, docs and paperwork to be done.
4 months PWD
5-6 months Perm Recruitment
6 or more months Perm filing and waiting
1 month I-140
I hoped for better from EY Law given that my previous employer had a terrible immigration team, and I was showering praises on EY Law's handling of my H1B Change of Employer petition while exiting my previous company. Feels foolish now.

I joined this January as a senior and my GC case was approved in March. But V&I didn’t contact me until yesterday🤦♀️. Side note: I was able to get the approval because I don’t have much time left on h1b.
