Hope someone can offer me some advice.
Here is my situation.
6 years in research in a University expired 10/04. Apllied LC and pending at SESA since 4/03. Apllied for H1B extension 7th year on 8/31/04- not prcessed yet at NSC!
Now offerd prematch in FP residency in the same University- only if I can start early-March/April. My wife applied for citizenship 10/04- no news yet. I dont think her N-400 will be approved by March so I have to buy time until then.
My question
1.Can I apply for a new H1B (new job requirements) based on pending LC. (finished Step1,2,3)
2. Do I have to wait for this H1B to be approved before I can start residency and if so can I do premium processing- if it still exists.
3. Hoping that I can send out the H1B and immediately start residency.
Any advice will be appreciated...
Thank you
