Job Change after I-140

14 years ago By Chief Editor

Question details

I am in the 5th year of my H1. My current employer has filed for my PERM under EB-3 category since I did not have 5 years experience before (EB-3 has 6 years backlog though EB-2 queue for me is current). I want to know is it possible to wait for I-140 approval, get 3 year extension with current employer and then switch jobs? Will I be able to get 3 more years on H1 with future employer?

It is possible and common for employer B to get H-1 extension based upon an I-140 approval of employer A. You need to speak about the details with a lawyer.

I got my BSN in the US

Question details

I got my BSN in the US, passed NCLEX and got my employment authorization. I am currently on F1 visa, and working at a nursing home. I live in MN and it was extremely hard to get a job. How do I apply for a green card and what role will my employer play in this process? Is it going to cost my employer any money? And how long is it going to take to get a green card?

Your employer's role in this process is limited. You can pay for all expenses yourself. The length of the process is determined by the country of birth.

I would like to give special thanks to Mathew Chacko,Rita Dhakal,Pramitha , Suman B for thier prompt service & quick responses during the process.The GC was filed in May 2003 & from then till April 2008 ( when my 485 got approved, wife is yet to be aproved )I have been in close touch with RK's office & I really should say that how every busy these guys are, they have always got back to me for any questions,doubts that I had from time to time.
I have heard stories from other colleagues , friends about some law offices & how they handle the client GC cases.I would highly recommend RK's office & his team to anyone who wants to file his GC thru employment. You are guys are no -1 in every way.
I would also add that my employer has been equally cooperative & supportive to me during the whole process.

A big thanks to Rajiv and his excellent team including Mathew, Heather, Mark, Anna, Rena and everyone else who touched my case over the past five years. Thank you for sharing my pain when I was waiting (sometimes impatiently) for the Green Card and for responding to all my questions (of which there have been many) as I tried to understand the options available to me through the green card process as well as all the H1B renewals.

Rajiv, thank you also for the phone consultations as they have helped my decisions during crucial moments in my career.

Wonderful and thorough team- Att. Diane, Sheena and Matthew helped me at every step with RFE for I-140 as well as I-485. Ever ready and alert team. They would call me immediately whenever we were in need. Besides, Mr Khanna, personally took interest and supported, made suggestions when we had queries. Att. Diane and Sheena worked very hard on my case and did their best to put the message across.
I am grateful to you all and thank myself for choosing you.
