My 6 year h1 cal reaches Feb 2021. I am planning to quit, as EY immigration team has become totally clueless. Do I have enough time to start perm process with a new employer?

Perm should be filed 1 year prior to expiry OR I-140 should be approved. Then you should be fine.

Negotiate with your new employer to start green card process day 1

D1.. yes..that's what I think I will do..have few interviews lined up. Hoping for the best.

Having said that, what's my worst case scenario..6 month? Even if process starts 2019 jan..I 'shud' be fine..hmmm

Remember, after 6 years of h1, you can get 1 year of L1. Also reclaim your time out of US.

How much it normally takes from GC initiation till PERM is filed in PwC ?

I applied for a job at Visa and was contacted the same day. A few days later I had a 30-minute screening interview with the hiring manager. I knew I was very early in the process since the job had only been posted for a few days. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back, even after reaching out to the recruiter. Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.
