What would you recommend to an H1B holder in terms of next steps? Applying for green card through employment(EB2) would take really long (Indian nationality). Does pursuing PhD improve the chances any better (EB1?)
- IDTheft 8y agoThe shorter and an easier route is to get transferred as a manager. If you are from India, join an Indian company which has a US office or US HQed company based in India (or any other country, maybe Canada), get promoted to manager and transfer to US on EB1C. There are certain restrictions, you have to be outside US for atleast a year and some other restrictions. But, this is the shortest route. Do not be like me and wait in the queue for 15 years. Use the shortest legal means possible.
- proberts 8y agoThat's all correct although an advanced degree also might help you qualify under the EB1A category (assuming that you publish, etc.).
- godelmachine 8y agoHave you already finished your MS? If yes, may I ask from which university and when?
