Hi,
I recently got a job at a tech startup and they applied EP for me. It got approved in a couple of days and I got the IPA. But they made a strategic change and decided to close my current position for a while, so I looked for another job and got it after a few days. At this point I havent yet gotten the EP from the first company. Just the IPA.
Now for the second employer to apply for a new EP application for me, the first employer has to cancel my IPA. I mentioned this to the first company's HR and he sent me a message saying he submitted an application for withdrawl of my ep application today.
Is it the same as cancelling the IPA? If so, do you have any idea how long it might take to finish processing my cancellation request.? The reason I ask is my second employer wants to speed things up and apply EP asap.
Can the second employer submit an EP application for me while the cancellation request is being processed?
