You can ask your fragomen attorney for ETA of each step in the process.

I mean I haven’t been contacted by the attorney yet, and company HR has no clue what’s going on 😦

They did mine some years ago and the whole ordeal was around three months - from signing till visa.

Thanks for your kind words 😊

Just got an offer in another company and they told me they’re partnering with Fragomen. Do you guys know whether the employees need to pay for the visa application and other additional fees first and Fragomen will reimburse the fee or not?

like

Fragomen will only accept the payments from your company.
