McKinsey 🐟 - Is it true that your firm does not start the green card process for lateral moves in less than 18 months after joining?

If you join as an associate yes. If you join as an experience hired, no

I joined EY 4 months back.. and just partner approval to initiate my GC... originally they had said that they’ll do it .. after 1 year.. something good about EY

like

McK1 - That’s so odd. A recruiter contacted me recently as she thought I’d be a good fit for an open position. The first thing she said was that there is absolutely no negotiation on the timeframe of GC initiation. It is min 18 months after the person joins and she was just negative in general. She said it will take me 6-7 months min to even join and then 18 months after that. I’ve never heard of this. And I have 7 years of relevant work exp so I would definitely be categorized as an experience hire. Have you heard of something like this happening before?

EY1 - Sorry, just to confirm what you said - when you joined EY, the recruiter said they’d initiate your GC filing after a year, but they agreed to start it after 4 months? That’s awesome and see that sounds way more reasonable!

This McK recruiter just really confused me because I know a few people that have joined the firm a few months ago and I don’t think they had to wait this long.

Manager OP, the partner approval is an exception. And exceptions are not guaranteed.
So, EY1 was lucky. But not everybody gets that benefit.

Hey OP,

If you are not an associated you only need to wait 12 months. Depends on the level you join, all MCK GC applications are to EM level, this is why ASC have to wait longer (they only file the i485 when you are an em)
