Another year of the H-1B application season, several happy couples. Here, I would like to express my warm congratulations to the friends who have been drawn to H-1B and approved. Don't be discouraged by the little friends who haven't gotten in or won't get approval, reorganize morale and fight again in the coming year! It is worth celebrating when the H-1B is approved, but with H-1B, everything is fine? NoNoNo... Let's talk about the story of C.
C Jun graduated from a famous Midwestern college in the United States. Upon graduation, he successfully entered his ideal company. He was very fortunate to have successfully obtained H-1B in his first year of work. Everything is so pleasing and smooth, and it is inevitable that C will be forgotten. He thinks about accumulating a few years of experience in the United States and then considering the green card. In the past five years, C Jun suddenly remembered that H-1B had only a six-year period. If you don’t apply for a green card, you will only have a few months of work time! C Jun was panicked. He found the boss in a hurry and hoped that the company would help him to run EB-2 or EB-3. He did not expect the boss to refuse because of lack of money. C Jun can only change his resume to the online investment in the night, looking forward to find a company that is willing to help him to do EB-2 or EB-3, but inadvertently understand that the original work during H-1B to submit H-1B Transfer Apply, you have to give the law firm a sum of money...
The tragedy of C Jun was that he did not promptly ask the company to apply for a green card after H-1B was successfully approved. In fact, for the friends who have successfully drawn H-1B, the first thing after the celebration is to consider applying for a green card.
July 2019 China (Mainland): EB-1 received no change, and began to approve for 75 days (May 8, 2017)
EB-2 receiving submissions for 92 days (February 1, 2017), starting approval for 92 days (November 1, 2016)
EB-3 receives submission for 152 days (June 1, 2016), and starts approval for 108 days (January 1, 2016)
More importantly, as long as the I-140 is approved, the H-1B can be extended indefinitely (even if the working hours have exceeded the six years specified in the H-1B visa) until the applicant receives a green card. Therefore, if the previous C can submit a green card application in time after the H-1B is approved, it will not worry about staying in the US.
