Hey! Has anyone heard in their H1B app this week? Mine’s on day 14 (with premium processing) since receipt and I’m just curious if should expect the decision by tomorrow or if uscis frequently misses the 15 day timeline.

Hi everyone I work at EY and have 3 YOE. EY started the perm process after 2.5 years, the role is for manager. It is standard that managers have 5 years of experience, does this mean that the green card will only be available in 2 years from now when you typically make manager (maybe 1 if early promoted)? From my understanding I have another 6 months with the PWD, Recruitment and then filing items, so it will be ready relatively soon. Just trying to make heads or tails of it.
