I have an offer from PwC and I have been asking them to start my Green Card process within first three months of joining. They are saying they cannot commit until I join. Anyone has got their GC process started before one year of joining or is it strictly after one year of joining?

Assuming this isn’t a role of a lifetime. My advice here is to hold your ground basically say it’s a deal breaker for you. If they say okay, then ask for it in writing.

At this point the odds are in your favor, the market is booming, all big tech does this starting day 1, you should push them.

If you want some further leverage, send a note to a partner explaining some context and saying I love this place and want to join and this minor administrative hurdle is holding me back. It’s also a good test of their attitude towards you.

Great advice!

I had my GC process started within the first 3-4 months of joining. You just have to be very persistent with HR and do regular follow-ups

Is it dependent on any approvals from the partner ?

I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
