Hello,
I have some questions regarding my visa/immigration situation, I will greatly appreciate your help in answering these questions:
1. I am currently in 7th year of H1b, 7th year extension with company A is valid till Apr 2008. My immigration was filed by company A in Dec 2003, still pending labor certification. Question: Can I transfer my H1b to company B who are willing to hire me?
How long does it take to get H1b approval (expedited/fast process)?
2. Company B is willing to hire and process my immigration in expedited manner. What are the important points that we should be careful about? eg; I understand that in this situation, a new immigration case will be filed with company B, so does it need to be filed before Apr 03, 2007? to keep a 1 year window between H1b expiration so that there are no problems in further H1b extensions if needed. Anything else?
3. The new position with company B is a Sr/Lead position, since I have over 6 years experience now and have a MS degree, does this qualify me under EB2 process? Approx How long does it take for new immigration case to be completed (till EAD), under EB2 or EB3 categories?
Thanks in advance for your time and advice in this regard.
