I accepted an offer from Cognizant for a consultant position a little less than a month ago. My joining date is 5th September and I would need visa sponsorship. I have completed my pre joining formalities and background verification. The thing is I haven’t heard from HR in a while and no update as yet on visa sponsorship process. Should I be worried?

When was the last time you spoke with HR?

Background checks can take up to 3 weeks fo complete so I think you should be okay since you also have a starting date. Right now it sounds like you've done your part and you just need to wait for everything to process.

Is there a site you can check the status on for the visa sponsorship?

The last time I spoke to the HR was when I accepted the offer. According to HireRight, my background verification was done and shared with Cognizant last Friday. I do have access to the Cognizant Portal but no update as yet on visa even on the portal. It may be a waiting game….

I have an interview coming up with Church & Dwight. When the recruiter emailed me with 3 interview times I thought he was asking me what time works best. Turns out he was telling me I was scheduled for 3 different interviews for 3 different teams in one day. Has anyone heard of a company doing that or gone through this for an interview? It seems odd to me

Is there any advantage to telling a company you are interested in working for in the future where you decided to accept an offer from? Or does it not matter? I accepted an offer a week ago with a great company (Company A) that for this season in my life seems like a great fit and only strengthens what I have to offer company B down the road. Company B just sent me a request for interview and I want to keep the door open with Company B but they were just very late in extending an interview.
