Your periodic reminder that the PERM program is completely stuck without any ETA. Meta has zero PERM approvals since Q4 2020. Why am I posting again? Every week I see 100s of new folks joining our internal PERM support group who had no idea about this when they signed the offer. Meta is a great company, but not worth taking a risk when it comes to your immigration status. FAQ Isn’t the lawsuit settled? Yes it is settled but Meta messed up the settlement due to which no PERMs are moving beyond the recruitment stage. #perm #greencard #facebook
Thanks for the info brother! Appreciate it.
Thanks for the headsup! I wonder what the situation of all new hires at Meta looking for PERM’s going to be
The situation is consistent for new and existing employees. No PERM.
What about folks who have i140 approved, are they also affected?
Thanks
Thanks for the information OP!
Does meta support H4EAD? Joining soon and I need to start my green card process at Meta. Have 3 years in h1b still. H4EAD will be through my spouse in case perm issue is not settled
Yes you can continue working with Meta on H4EAD
H4EAD always looks like 4Head. https://streamerfacts.com/4head-meaning/
What about US citizenship applications? I didn't understand the lawsuit and it's implications on GC. Wondering if citizenship applications can get stuck. Apologies if it's a naive question
US citizenship application is not related to your employer.
What are the chances that the issue gets resolved within the next couple of yrs?(before my priority date becomes current?)
Reasonable chance of getting resolved in 2-3 years but no one really knows :(
I read an article that said nee PERM applications are paused for 36month period starting Oct. 2021 Here is the link to that article: https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/perm-lessons-from-facebook-settlements-8827331/
36- is just a typo for 3-6
