1) The expiration date on my I-94 is Sep/2004 and the end of my standard 6th year in H-1B status is Jan/2005. My Labor Certification Application was filed in Sep/2003, which was before the end of my 5th year in H-1B status. Since I haven't received any approval/denial/receipt notice answer from them yet, do I have to renew my visa in order to remain in the US after my I-94 expires until the end of my standard H1B 6th year? And thereafter?
2) Now my lawyer is saying that a new job survey needs to be done because the amount previously advertised by my employer for my position was underpaid, reason why my company could not find a qualified US citizen to do my job. If I changed to a higher-pay job now, would I still have time for green card application? Would a new LCA be required? Is it better to change lawyer?
3) I do have an offer from another employer that will pay me more but don't know if changing jobs now is too risky, although it could be my last chance. Could a good lawer still save my case?
