It’s been 1.5 month since initial contact with their law/immigration team, and still haven’t been ready to submit the petition yet

Is this a consulting firm or corporate ?

A consulting firm with 3rd party law firm

mine took 2 weeks

1 week for LCA prep, 2 weeks for LCA approval, 1 week for H1B application prep and 1 week for getting approval in PP - 4 weeks total, but client wanted me to join earliest and attorneys were advised to hurry up!
And I made sure to do frequent follow-ups to make sure none Time is wasted for any docs from my side and employer side.

For corporate job it took me 2 weeks end to end .

Took me 2-3 weeks for the whole process going to corporate. But I called the law firm everyday asking for status updates
