Curious to know .. I had I-140 approved for 3 years and I switched job.. H1 transfer.. got 3 months less .. than my expiry date ( so total about 33 months Ext.)

I just got an extension only for 24 months.

Are you all working in tech?

Extended for 3 years - not tech

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.
