Just finished an initial phone screen with a recruiter at KPMG...my candidature was very well recd.. one hour later I got an email saying they will have to pass because they don’t do H1 transfers with less than 3.5 years on visa. Is this for real? On my second extension and having 3.5 years is highly improbable. I do have my current visa till sep 2020

That is a weird policy from KPMG. Was thinking of considering after I got invited for interview. I got an offer from Deloitte recently. I am on H1 and valid till 2020. It works if you are an internal referral. Before calling me over for final interviews someone from their immigration team called and explained how the process will work. They just do H1B transfer petition and in premium if available. I haven't accepted it yet as they offered something which was same as what I make today. Negotiations on.

Just to let all interested in KPMG know - mostly KPMG does GC for SA and below level in EB3 category. There is a weird policy that you have to be manager and above for EB2. Sometimes they ask you to sign a bond also.

They asked me for at lest visa status next 5 years.

Lol that's KPMG for you

It’s just the beginning I guess ... didn’t think I would face this kind of issues at another big 4, especially since I have close to 3 years available on my current H1

Seriously, eff KPMG

What abt Deloitte EY ? Any h1 prereq?

@M1: did they promise to do a GC.? Asking for a reason...

They got back to me and said that they need the person to be in good standing for 18 months before they file the green card paper work and the 3.5 years is to allow for enough time for filing after the prerequisite 18 months have elapsed. I am a SM so it should have been an EB2 I guess

This is standard policy, they stopped hiring or transferring H1’s about three years ago. There has to be a demonstrated business need now. They do file EB2 only, and only for those who are projected to be manager and above. Many people do not get their GC approved at all by the firm and end up getting relocated to other firms

@K4 they only file EB2 even if you are SA? I am going to be promoted in 1-2 years however. Also why do GC not get approved?

K4, as an associate, what are my chances to get gc filed? Should I switch to other big4 to improve my chances ?
