How long do you go to India for? Is 3/3.5 weeks too much to plan for in these times? Anything less feels so tight especially with the visa processing. Want to see what the general trends are

Are you getting that many days off?

2.5 weeks max.

There is no other way , you need to plan it around stamping appointment or Dropbox (if that’s what you are asking). Set that up first

lol. No other way, according to who? Went in 2024 for 5 weeks. Thanksgiving to new year.

I had a 3 week India travel last month., there is nothing to worry about as long as your paperwork is intact.

3 weeks

If you plan to work from there for a week then go for 3-4 weeks. If not then based on my vacation hours available, and the reason of the vacation (weddings/life events)

Couple it with Thanksgiving or Christmas and you get a bonus week!

Small price to pay to get an extended time off to spend it with friends and family!

5 weeks twice a year

In an ideal world, I would be quitting this job and moving somewhere else that aligns better with my professional goals in the next 3 months.
Does it mandate me to have transfered my GC to Google or should I wait for the offer confirmation from the new employer and do it once for all there?
