No. The transfer terms include a new background check and remain conditional. A different employee’s eligibility and official process require assessment.
Avoid a fixed handover promise
A desired employment start or internal replacement date does not establish immigration permission. Follow actual official instructions and individual records.
No fixed, guaranteed timeline is appropriate to rely on for a program that is still comparatively new and described as evolving; processing depends on the underlying employment-based category used and the program's own registration and review steps at the time of filing. The official Gold Card page currently says the process should take weeks, but that estimate is not a guaranteed completion date, and an employer's enthusiasm does not shorten government vetting or create a visa number. If official instructions specify a payment sequence, preserve the source, verify the official payee through an independent official channel, and retain evidence of every transaction. A scheduled interview guarantees neither approval nor a moving date: assess housing, schooling, and business commitments through the decision and applicable admission steps. Identify what would change in the plan if additional information or a further step is required, and recheck the framework before committing to housing, employment or school decisions tied to an assumed approval date.
