Got an offer from FANG in Jan, currently in Big 4. H-1B Visa transfer to new employer is taking longer than planned due to RFE and additional details required. Employer planning to withdraw the offer.

Is this a Trump administration fucking with immigrants thing, or just sometimes transfers take longer?

Oh lol. Sorry totally didn’t catch it 🤗

Tried negotiating premium processing?

Exactly

If they aren’t willing to wait that sounds like a “them” problem. That seems very short-sighted for them not to understand your situation

Agreed, this is a red flag for me. Its been 3 months, no way that a FAANG cant wait 3 months, and they knew that Visa processing would take time, so something smells fishy.

In the same boat

Damn.

Why isn’t premium processing an option? Even with rfe, you should hear quick rt.

Employer is taking 4-6 weeks for RFE petition filings.

Didn’t you join on receipt? You should keep working while they resolve RFE?

Not sure if I could join in RFE now

I honestly believe you should join. Worst case they will be able to send you to Canada or Europe till your visa issue is sorted out - Clarify that beforehand. If ref is for speciality occupation, their %approval is higher. If this is you dream job to be in FANG, take it. You won’t regret it!

Anyone here who can refer me to Apple or Facebook ?

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
