Your periodic reminder that the PERM program at Meta is completely stuck. No new and pending PERMs are going beyond the recruitment stage as Meta messed up their settlement with DOL/DOJ. In the worst case, this will take several years to resolve. Feel free to post questions and I will try my best to answer. #greencard #perm #meta
Wasnât everything resolved last November?
They âsettledâ the lawsuit but screwed up in negotiating the terms of the settlement. Find me a Meta employee whose PERM is moving forward and Iâll venmo you $1000.
Hey it's me. I work at Meta and my PERM is moving forward because I said so. You can Venmo me directly.
Is this only for people whose PD is close to being current? My PD is in 2019. Should I even worry about this and give Meta a try?
If this is true then you just saved a lot of pain for a lot of folks. Cisco delayed my green card for three consecutive years due to the layoffs they do every October.. f**k cisco. So if this is true then it is a very serious situation for folks hoping to get greencard.
It is true. See previous threads about this.
Only layoffs in the same department in the same location with you will affect perm right?
Makes sense.. how is it possible to post Facebook SWE jobs online and no American applies. Besides, the whole settlement is stupid because the purpose of PERM is to show no LOCAL workers are immediately available. Posting the job on the careers website makes it visible worldwide
By your explanation, no one should be able to get a PERM because someone will apply.
If you post the job online (specially SWE in a popular company) yes no one can get it. Facebook agreed to do this in their settlement with DOL and thatâs why they canât work it out. other companies just post ads on local newspapers or something
Can confirm. My partner is getting screwed by this, they need to restart the whole process from scratch.
And even after starting from scratch, it will get stuck after the recruitment stage :(
What happens if my h1b deadline is coming soon? Will I still be able to work while the application is pending?
If you have a prior I-140 you can renew your H1B. Otherwise, youâre screwed. Many Meta employees are in this boat and have to relocate outside of the US as theyâre unable to extend their H1B.
Ohh nooo. I was in the middle of interview process. Thanks for information
If recruiters are deliberately misleading candidates, thatâs a class action waiting to come. Screw these recruiters for messing with candidates.
Decided to leave Meta as I am unhappy with the PERM situation.
:(
Just joined Meta, I was told his is solved?
No it is not. See the PERM support group on workplace. Every single PERM is stuck without any ETA. Recruiters are basically lying.
Thanks for the info. Very helpful
