Is it normal for employers to sponsor green card for new employees in tech

I have been working for current employer on a H1 visa for a little over 2 years and have a total of 3 years of experience as a software engineering.

I initiated the green card process with them last year and we already have the I-140 approved and with my priority date being current, we should have been ok to move forward with the adjustment of status I-485. The only problem is HR used the job description for the position above me and now I have to wait till I get promoted to that position so they can apply.

This is an issue because, realistically I am not meeting the metric used for deciding who gets promoted. I do not see myself getting a promotion anytime soon.

Due to this I have been thinking of moving to a company that would be more favourable toward my circumstances. I have heard that Google is usually willing to sponsor green card on day on are there any other companies that have the same policies?

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...
