My H1B Change of Employer (COE) petition submitted by my new employer was approved today. I do not have the receipt notice nor the approval notice in hand as it was recently approved and will probably take some time to arrive in mail once my new employer receives it from USCIS and mails it to me.

Is it safe to provide my leave notice to my current employer already or should I wait until my new employer has received the approval notice from USCIS and has mailed it to me?

If you have received the USCIS approval email .. then it’s fine to give notice to current employer.

Yes, I received the approval notification via email from the attorney at my new employer and also my case status shows approved when checking through the USCIS portal via the receipt #

Its fine for you to give notice to your employer now. I did the same on Friday

Perfect then. Put up the notice 2 weeks prior to the start date, also make sure your background verification and other prerequisites are complete.

My total experience is around 7+ years and am currently working in a MNC from the past 4 years. I was planning to make a switch to some other company but recently my manager has mentioned to me in person and as well as on my appraisal feedback (in writing) that I will be nominated for the H1B visa in the coming cycle. This was in July 2022. Should I be worried that it won't happen or should I start looking for the switch.?

Anyone here waiting for a Family Based Green Card, my lawyer filed it last September 2021. It’s 14 months now… still waiting.

Just wanted to know if anyone of you got it earlier than 2 years?

Saw this while searching —
“In most cases, it takes about two years for a green card to become available, and the entire process takes around three years. It can take slightly longer for citizens of Mexico, China, India, and the Philippines.”

On a brighter note — Got my EAD March 2022.
