PwC how is the GC process and overall law firm support at PWC? How much time do they usually take to complete the process and reach to the i140 approved stage. I have 3 years left on my h1b and looking to join pwc, so wondering if I am risking my GC process here

It can take upto 3 years. The law team is the same in most of these companies. There is one year wait from the date of joining to initiate the process. No GC filing policy for associate level role though. Atleast 3-4 months to review the job description & to file the PWR, 9 months for PWR approval from DOL if everything is done correctly. 4 months recruitment + cool off period, + 6 months for PERM (without audit) or else 12 months or more if audited. Not a quick process at all. With DOL delays, the process & timeline has almost doubled 😓. You will be really close or exceeding your 6 year mark with a 50 - 50 chance unless DOL speeds up the process but unlikely. The PWR approving period is only going south, Pre pandemic its 4-6 weeks and last year its 6 months now its 9 months. Beware of comparing it with others timeline since DOL processing was much shorter pre-pandemic.

2 years my timeline. The length of the process also depends on the country you were born because of current dates.
