No Title You can continue to go through a fellowship while you are in H1-B status, but I do not think that you can apply for GC at that time. Maybe if you get a permanent position after the fellowship, you can. To apply for a GC you either need an offer for a permanent position and advertise...

No Title Yes you are right. I have been working almost three years at MUA and my NIW is still pending.

No Title My lawyer also advised me to do traditional labor certification at first. He said that the RiR is uncertain, because it could be denied if DOL thinks that the recruitment process was not done well. It took me one year of waiting till I realized that it was not going to happen any time...

No Title I do not think that you need permanent job offer. I had a contract for 3 years and it was enough. No jobs in this country come with permanent guarantee.

No Title He can change his employer anyway, because he has a GC from December.

No Title Why did you continue the NIW if you got your GC already approved?

No Title In the U.S. Embassy in Prague.

No Title My husband got his H-1B visa stamped in the passport couple days earlier too. He entered the country exactly when his 2 years expired and he had no problems.

No Title You have to follow the instructions and see if the applicants are really interested in the job. Your employer should schedule an interview with them, give them a job offer and see if they take it. If they refuse the job after they see what it is, you submit the copy of their job...

No Title It is OK to work on O-1 visa after H-1B expires. It works for me.

No Title I think that you have better chance to get an O-1 visa if you work for academic place/university. You can show much more easily that you are going to do an expert job. But sometimes people do not have such an offer and get it even if they work for private group. The letters should be...

No Title If you apply for NIW, you do not need labor department. To apply for NIW is similar as to apply for an O-1 visa. So I suggest that you apply for O-1 visa first. NIW used to be given to physicians working in the medically underserved areas or in the VA\'s In the fall of 1998 they...

No Title I did my O-1 visa with a lawyer, but he was not very helpful in advising me how to write these letters. So I talked to my friends who did the same thing and I wrote those letters by myself. It is hard for a lawyer to know all details of your carrier. Basically you need as many letters...

No Title Get an O-1 visa.

No Title I had the same problem last year. I had H-1B expiring in 6 months, NIW pending appeal, and application at Department of Labor pending. I applied for an O-1 visa and received it within a month. In the mean time The Labor Department approved my application which is now at VSC. To my...

No Title Sure, can you send me your e-mail?

No Title I obtained a peer group letter. Since I am clinician, I asked a group of physicians practicing in the same area to write that letter. It was basically another supportive letter. It explained what kind of work I will be doing and why is it very important. My lawyer send me the correct...

No Title To obtain an O-1 visa you have to prove your extraordinary ability. Most of the people obtaining O-1 visas are those who went through fellowship, did some research, etc. You need to provide several letters of recommendation from different institutions from people who know you. These...

No Title Yes, you are right. It is probably better to go through labor certificate, but it also takes a while (about 3 years). Working for MUA may increase your chances to get it through without problems.
