Dear Rajiv Ji / Forum members,
I am in USA on deputation from a popular Indian company - and on my 6th year of H1B. I have been with this company for 15 years and still this company will not file for my Green Card, but wants to return back and continue working from India office.
I am looking for your opinion n assessing the risk in switching the job with with less than 11 months left on my H1B visa.
1. Assume everything goes as expected - no surprises, no unexpected RFEs - Is this balance time good enough to get LCA and I140 cleared ?
2. Without I140 approval, will I be able to extend (1 year) based on Labor approval?
3. If my new employer starts perm IMMEDIATELY after my joining, would that in itself trigger an RFE or other complications.
4. I am seasoned professional with 16+ years of experience and about (8+ years in USA on 2 H1s). Would this long history help in things moving smoothly?
TIA for your time
