Folks at EY who've applied for GC recently. I joined EY in June, so about 6 months in. I understand there is a 1 year wait on H1B before starting GC process. But have there been cases when this has started faster for new hires? I'm thinking of requesting in the new year by first talking to practice lead. Added incentive is SO is in her third try in 2021 and in case doesn't get picked, would want to keep the H4-EAD option open as soon as possible.

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.

If you are A1, very unlikely

I am a Senior 2

Are you maxing out next year?

Oh then you can relax lol

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.

Any thoughts/advice? I’m from 🇰🇷 :) TYI!!
