I am in a weird spot and I don't know who to turn to. I am on an H1B visa and I recently got a great job with a big tech firm to take on a leadership role in that firm. The comp is great and the opportunity is excellent. Due to the premium processing getting shut down due to COVID, the new employer is asking me to join on receipt and they are stating that they will be happy to relocate me in case of issues with my visa. The team I will be leading is global in nature so they aren't too worried about me having to work for a few months overseas while they fix my visa situation. (My kids go to school here and I really don't want to put them through a temporary overseas relocation).
My extension approval at my current employer came in March and I am good for the next 3 years. I like my current job.
Given all the volatility around what Trump might do next, should I just say no to the new employer? my nightmare scenario is that Trump denies all new filings. The new employer has made it clear that they cannot wait 4-6 months waiting for my visa to come.
What would you guys do in my position?
