Accenture India Hello,
I resigned and asked for early release.
But the management did not agree,but right now they are rolling me off from the project in another 4 days and my lwd is 1month away from today.
Whatz likely going to happen?
Will they release me early or put me on bench for the rest of my notice days?
Need inputs please.
PS:I don't want early release now.

Any level. There's no rule of thumb and law firms don't have strict(er) sponsorship rules that some large corporations are known for. Talk to the partner you report to and ask them to persuade/pressure HR to start your sponsorship as soon as possible.
Usually senior management roles, but it depends. Some firms will allot a certain number of positions for visa holders. Any companies you are looking at specifically?
Piggybacking off of what AC1 said, the more seniored roles are going to be given priority when it comes to sponsoring green cards. More junior roles, definitely more difficult and more hoops to jump through.
What attorney level in big law are you considering senior like 4th/5th year +
Biglaw: Generally I've seen/heard when you renew your H1B (3rd-4th year-ish), they begin your GC process that year. That said, I know ppl who negotiated GC sponsorship as part of their lateral moves as 2nd/3rd years during the height of COVID.
Makes sense. What about for those on TN, E-3 or L1A visas?
Your employer can’t apply for your green card ok TN and E-3 visas. They are non-immigrant visas, as opposed to H1-B which is a dual-intent visa. If you’re on other of these visas, you will have to switch to H-1B before your employer can file an immigrant worker petition for you.
