- shuckles 2y agoThat’s useful to know. One difference for my situation is I’d like the H1B1 holder to be able to continue working during the application, but I have heard mixed information on how feasible that is. The H1B1 needs to be renewed quite frequently but may not be renewable while you have an adjustment pending.
- proberts 2y agoThere are potential issues with being in H-1B1 status and applying for a green card but they revolve more around timing - so, for example, if you entered the U.S. on an H-1B1 visa (as opposed to H-1B), which is not a dual-intent visa, then you would need to wait some unspecified period of time before applying for a green card to avoid being "charged" with immigration fraud at the time of your entry in H-1B1 status. Also, after filing your green card application, while you could continue working on your H-1B1 visa, you wouldn't be able to travel internationally on it and you wouldn't be able to travel in general for an extended period of time unless you had a family emergency abroad.
