My situation: H1B holder into 6th year, visa expiring Jan 2007.
-Arrived in US on 1998 to complete BS degree studies.
-Graduated 2000 - started working w/ current company since.
-Company recently given me final answer that they are not able to file for Labor Cert with my current position w/ them.
-The company attorney told me they can't and no other employer can help me file for GC application. I must leave country when visa expires in Jan 2007.
I recently met a contracting company (small biz) that is willing to sponsor for my GC. I am not familiar with the process for GC application, and have only gotten my info from the company's attorney. And in the end they told me they can's help me with my GC app. My question is, with my visa ending in Jan 2007, will these contracting company be able to help me with my GC application if I join them?
If possible, what is the latest date for me to join this new company?
Appreciate any insight any can share with me.
