Thank you to anyone who can give me some advice on my situation. I have been employed with my company for almost 6 years, so I am on my second H1B which will run out in 8 months. My labor cert has not yet been approved, even though it was submitted over a year ago. I am eligible for a 7th...

It depends on the country. Last time I went, the only thing they asked me was the name of the company and my job description. If this is your first H1b, they may ask you about your education. Nothing major, just a quick 5 minute thing... however, different consulates may be more strict than...

Quick question: Is it possible to change job title and responsibilities (within the same company) while my Labor Certification is pending? I heard that since the GC is a petition for a job in the FUTURE, would I be able to bounce around various areas in the company temporarily while I wait...

I just have a really quick question. I currently have an H1b, but I am considering moving to another department (within the same company). I know that I will need an H1b amendment because the job description will change. - What is the difference between an H1b amendment and obtaining a...

I would really appreciate any advice on my situation. I am currently on an H1b and on the very early stages of the Labor Certification process (my company is sponsoring my GC). I will be married to a US Citizen this summer. 1 - Can I file for Employment Based & Family Based GC...
