Requirements for Extension of H-1 beyond 6 years

9 years ago By Editor
Question details

I am looking for opportunities using the remainder option of my H-1B. I have a year and half remaining out of six years.

Now, most of the companies do not want to start the GC process immediately; they want to start after 6-12 months.
I have the following two questions:
1. What stage do I need to reach on my GC process when the remaining time on H-1B ends.
2. If my company doesn't want to start GC process immediately, can I begin this on my own using my personal fund?

See clip from Attorney Rajiv S. Khanna's conference call video that addresses this question.

Basic Criteria for Extraordinary Ability

16 years ago By Rajiv S. Khanna

This morning, I was working on explaining to a client (whom I respect greatly), one of the foremost musicians from India, how EB1 (Extraordinary Ability) category applies to musicians and performers. As I was sending him the basic information on EB1 category, I thought I will share the general criteria with all of you. This information is for EA, generally and applies to all fields - not just music. See attached.

Regards to all. Rajiv.
