PwC - I have migrated to the US firm on L1A visa. Does anyone know what is the timeline to get my green card process started ? I was told that I need to spend 12 months min at the firm. Is that a general case in other Big4 too ?

How did you get l1A visa? Did you work at another pwc member firm?

At KPMG as well. I think it’s a general thing. How long did your L1A visa process take?

Is there a fast track too? Any info on that?

At the moment you're looking at 2.5-3years from the moment you start the process, assuming your dates are current.

You can only change jobs once you have your greencard in your hand approved by the government.

My experience is that the firm has discretion and how the firm handles things can shift. Suggest you try to get any commitments in writing. They may defer sponsoring until close to when the L1A, with extensions, is going to run out.

I cannot get my GC process started until i was 2 years into my L1, my friend in other group waited 12 months. I’d say that’s a common waiting time in pwc.

I was made to wait till I had done my first renewal. Honestly it’s a long process these days. I started my greencard process in January 2022 and I’d say based on government current processing times for the next stages I have 12-18months to go.

No. It depends on your home country some waits are years and years but my entire length of time from start to finish for me is looking like 2.5-3years. (Realized typo in my first message - I started the process in January 2021*).

So
- I didn't get selected in the H1B lottery.

Question:
Should I just move to London as soon as I'm able to, or is it worth waiting until the end of my OPT in August in case they do a second round of the H1B lottery?
