Hi! If you have been working at PwC for more than a year try the L-1 visa - should be easier to get than the H-1B (it’s not lottery dependent). You don’t need to be engaged/married to a US citizen to get it.
Hmm I’m not quite sure but it doesn’t hurt to try - I think this should be much easier than to try and find a job independently - obtaining a work permit in the US is extremely complicated if you’re not married to a US citizen / green card holder so I would definitely try the L-1 option. With the L-1 you will only be able to work for PwC (the sponsoring entity) but once you get married you may try to obtain a green card from your spouse.
I’d refer you at EY if you want. Can’t speak to which would be easier tho sorry
What’s your timeline? I’ve referred a few ppl and the process can be kind of long. Usually you’re interviewed within a couple weeks but the whole process can be over a month. What city/practice/level are you looking for?
This is very difficult to answer without more information.
1. Is your partner a US citizen?
2. If your partner is a citizen, then are you engaged / married? There are visas you’d be eligible for.
3. If not a US citizen, then does his company offer any information about moving with a partner? We have had secondees come over, and their spouse was able to come with them.
4. Have you looked for secondment opportunities of your own through the firm you are with?
Since your partner has a green card, I believe your only option is to find your own way here. I think you should explore both secondment and applying directly (e.g. you would quit your job in your country and start newly hired in the US).
Alternatively, if you were married, your spouse would be able to bring you over on a marriage visa.
If you are not married then highly unlikely that you will get a visa but even for a spouse has been made difficult by current trump Administration. Best option is to get H1-B or other kind of working visa which PWC should be able to help you if you want to get transferred.
A1, geniuinely interested. How has it become difficult for spouses of Green Card holders? Are they not eligible for GCs and work authorization if the spouse is a GC holder?
use Global Mobility services? I’m truly lost here and quite frankly worried I might not be able to move due to visa requirement etc...
OP, just curious but is marriage not an option? Even a court/civil marriage and a religious ceremony can follow in time? It may solve many of your issues.
