I have about one year left on my H1B and Deloitte is no way near to file my I- 140 in that time - do you think I can change firms at this time? Any recommendations on next steps?

Is just i140 pending and do you have the PERM done?

Did you renew once already?

OP - involve Deloitte immigration team (not the BAL folks) and if you don’t know their contacts involve your Talent advisor and a partner who can help to escalate if needed. Do you know where is your process stuck?

Most companies would like you to work for a year before they start the I 140 process and with premium processing suspended, H1B transfers are also really tricky!

what stage you are in OP? you just need to get PERM filed before 6th year to be able to extend in 1 year increments after 6 years...i140 can be done later...i believe D would at least initiate Perm

OP - You better start knocking at the group partner’s door. Have direct conversations with them and explain that if they don’t process your application on time, you’ll have to leave the country. Make them understand your situation in simple terms.

Partners at Deloitte don’t care much about immigration. They can find someone to replace you. In a non covid time, I would suggest you quit Deloitte and join a company that files I140 day 1. Its tricky now. Start scouting for contingencies
