Hi! I recently switched to a new employer, who promised in writing on email that they’d start my GC process right after I complete 3 months with the firm. I’m currently on the 4th month and the process has not yet begun.
Please note that I have to give a couple of exams/certifications, one of which I failed very recently. This is keeping me from asking my employer about the GC process. Am I being irrational? Any advice or help would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Literally just ask them to start now. The process takes so long, you have to be careful but do not overthink this and waste your own time.

You should ask. They are supposed to start the process (as per the email).

The exam was not a pre-condition so should not matter.

Note that passing the exams was not a pre-condition. The only condition was to complete 3 months of employment with the firm.

What company is this who gives GC after three months - please dm me if you don’t mind sharing I’m looking for sponsorship

Thanks EY1!
EY2: thanks for your unsolicited judgement.
