Sorry to break your bubble. Big consulting firms are not much of bottleneck. US immigration system is. 10 years and waiting on Green Card.

likesmart

Sigh.. understand. Was hoping some firms may sponsor e.g. 1 year in as opposed to 2-3 years in, so at least we get a bit of a head start

Kearney has a killer program. So many colleagues fast tracked to green card. People have told me it’s really easy with Kearney

likehelpful

Relatively, no^

We have only a handful of books of business globally, so that makes transferring from a company perspective much simpler. Also Kearney has great support for people going international, so i know plenty of people who have done it.

Coming from some countries is more difficult (eg coming from India can be harder), but even then I’ve known lots to navigate the process successfully. I would say compared to other consulting firms, Kearney makes it easier

OP are you Indian? If so prepare for a 10yr wait minimum. Firm doesnt matter. Job doesnt matter. Unless you can get an EB1 or EB5. On EB2/3 its gonna be a 10yr minimum wait.

Lots of factors here. If you’re Indian, you’re in for a looong wait - unless you marry an American. If you are from some countries it’s a lot faster though - aka countries that don’t have a lot of immigrants to the USA. Most consulting firms have decent programs but as stated above - USCIS sucks balls.

For context I’ve been rated as a strong performer consistently and am not new to the job so it’s not a lack of understanding.
