It is unfair because it doesn't allow someone to jump the line. A totally unfair system (sarcasm).

Because he is lying when he said the wait time is only 8-10 years. It is actually more than 100 years. But, no immigration attorney will ever say that truth to the H1B visa holders from India. I had asked this exact same question to my comp

I see. So, will the "ebb and flow", bring down my wait time from 800 years to 300 years?

Current priority date for EB-3 India is 2006. For it to clear all the 2007 priority date applications, it will take another 14 years [1]. Since my priority date is today, 12/19/2017, why do you think my wait time is only between 8

How many years will I need to wait for my green card? I'm from India on H1B - EB3 and my priority date is today. P.S. I know it is hard to give exact number, but even a ballpark estimate would be highly appreciated. Thank you

Though this is not against the law; I don't know any real companies that does this.

Yeah, if I had said Bush made "the priority date current" so that H1B could file 485-EAD; I don't think anyone would understand what that mean. So, I tried to keep it simple by mentioning "job mobility".

80% of the H1B holders today are from India. And they cannot reach that step; because the wait time to reach there (485-EAD) is 70+ years.

That is the sense I got from the Legal Immigrant Advocacy groups who directly worked with DC Immigration Officials. There should be good companies and attorneys (for e.g., Murthy, etc.) probably they are out numbered? P.S: I did provide th

They were allowed to move out of H1B visa to EAD status (non-visa legal status). The same legal status DACA recipients got from Obama administration. So, technically nothing was changed to the H1B rule.

I have no idea. If Republican's tries to make the system better with the interest of American workers as priority, then there is a chance, it could help legal immigrants like me too. With the current administration, their priority was

>No, you can use your old I140 to extend your H1B for another 3 years That is based on the _assumption_ the previous employer did not withdraw the old I-140. I wouldn't recommend that to any H1B visa holder.

by suryacom 10y ago
I have crossed 6 years on H1B. So, if I change my job, maximum visa extension I can get is for 3 years (provided my employer was kind enough to give me a copy of the I-140 petition). This is where it gets tricky. Within this 3 years I need

I think you are talking about is H1B-LCA document. I-140 petition is different, it is employer's property.

by suryacom 10y ago
If you are on H1B past 6 years, then you will need the copy of approved I-140 petition to get the H1B transferred to the new employer. But, H1B visa holder does not have access to I-140 petition; it is employer's property.

by suryacom 10y ago
You missed my point. It is not about poor countries. Indian's and Chinese will not have job mobility for decades. That is the reason, last year, 80%+ of H1B visas went to Indian/Chinese nationals.

What you mean by you are a risk taker? You have no idea what you are comparing here. Will you risk your family getting deported due to a clerical error? Once H1B lose his job, he and his family has to leave the country in 15 days. Sell his

That is not correct. The second employer has to do all three: PERM, I-140 and GC.

Visa can be transferred. But, Green Card process has to be restarted from the square one; that is +10k for attorney.

If TCS/Infosys brings in H1B folks to replace American workers; and those H1B folks leave TCS/Infosys the next day; then that business model will not work to begin with.

On one talks about the actual issue with the H1B. I'm a H1B holder from India, living and working in USA for past 10 years. The actual incentive for companies is that, an H1B holder from India has less rights, they cannot change job
