Hello! Typically how long does it take to complete all three steps of the Green Card process? (Heard that it takes approximately 3 years at EY so was wondering about the timeline in other companies)

I know EY doesn't complete PERM within 8 months, especially not in their covid world. It took my lawyer 14 months to file PERM And I've seen a lot of people with similar timeframe. Big techs are usually faster. Also, your country of birth matters. If you are not from China or India, you are current in priority date that means there's a chance for you file 140 And 485 concurrently. Saves a lot of time there. My process started in October 2017, still waiting for my PD to get current for 485 filing now.

That's very fast turnaround. Good for you!

Which 3 steps?
Also the total amount of time to get the GC is dependent on whether you're filing in EB2/3 and your country of birth. The only thing we can really compare is when different companies initiate the process. McK does it at 18 months of employment, of which 6 must be in the US. Certain big tech companies initiate within the first 3 months

Hah very true. Can't edit now.

While applying for visa my company quoted 80K as compensation. Now they want to reduce it to 75K.

This feels like unfair practice. Is it common? What should be my approach?

My H1B is processing but after hearing stories that company won't provide any projects for US even after H1B approval , should u take a jump. Have a offer in hand for another company which pays 50% hike on current package
