Is it typical for consulting companies to not pay for Premium processing? Deloitte isn't going to do it for my H1B transfer even if it restarts. Are they cheapskating me?

KPMG is the worst firm from immigration perspective. They sponsor H1 for some positions based on need. Their green card process in the worst with multiple criteria.

EY by default does it for H1B, at least for change of employees. I had received a document from immigration and visa team and it was written in that they do premium processing for all applicants

@EY1 - that is not a true statement.. EY does it when you join EY but when EY renews or files for an extension EY files (at its expense) in regular processing unless your license is expiring or which will restrict you in continuing with Ey.....EY does give you an option to pickup the tab for premium processing if you want to do premium processing...

I know KPMG doesn't even for transfers. Deloitte generally does premium processing. I'm surprised to hear your case.

Hmm yeah I am finding it weird too. Does KPMG even sponsor h1b?

What do you mean by multiple criteria for green card? I am considering going through interviewing with them through a referall as well for a position requiring a masters and 3 years exp as per jd to see if it qualifies for eb2.

It's a long story but KPMG is really stingy about sponsoring GC. I left the company for that reason. They have 4 criteria - 1) 18 months with the firm 2) have good performance reviews in the last 2 cycles 3)should be a manager 4) be in the last 3 years of h1b. I have heard of cases where they haven't started sponsorship even after meeting all the criteria. Basically management has to approve $15K upfront in order to start the process and a lot depends on your practice as well. I would strongly recommend against joining kpmg unless you are joining as a manager and can wait 18 months.

Hi all 🙂👋🏻 Apologies for such a late post. I have an offer of 18 CTC(1L joining bonus) from Larsen & Toubro Infotech & 12.5 fixed from IBM .
My joining in both are in around May last week. Tomorrow my IBM pre onboarding HR will connect with me. Should I ask for a counter offer tomorrow itself?
Or should I ask 2 weeks before joining?
Many told me that companies revise CTC when the joining date is near, else they show less interest. So should I go for it now itself?
Appreciate ur inputs🙂
