Try being on a non-transferable visa but on Eb2

Sorry 😢 I Hope at least ROW and not India/China.

How much is non-competitive? Anw GC is worth it you’re very close. Hang in there.

I think it’s comparable for Big4, but we’re a bit more of a boutique shop and mostly compete with MBB and T2 on projects.

I know that the TC is not bad at all, but the MBB/T2 and partially the industry numbers mentioned on here are always a bit frustrating (even knowing that they might often be a bit inflated).

How long is the wait?

I’m EB1C, so shouldn’t be forever

Hi! I recently switched to a new employer, who promised in writing on email that they’d start my GC process right after I complete 3 months with the firm. I’m currently on the 4th month and the process has not yet begun.
Please note that I have to give a couple of exams/certifications, one of which I failed very recently. This is keeping me from asking my employer about the GC process. Am I being irrational? Any advice or help would be highly appreciated. Thank you.
