i am a Programmer Analyst in the US on a H1B since 2003.
My company is ready to file my labor and assist me for my Green Card from Maine/Boston.
I have a problem and need advice:
I have to return to India due to family reasons (cannot explain in detail, but for the present i have to go back, but i do want to return to the US,afterall one does not get such opportunities many times, especially with a good employer)
I plan on waiting till the labor approval; file adjustment of status and receive EAD.This should (if i am not wrong ) take 8 months from Maine / Boston.
A friend informed that after having received the EAD,I could apply for advance parole, go to India; complete the remaining formalities, and collect the Green card in India itself. is this possible?
If it is,then I would appreciate someone walking me through the stages starting from filing the labor certification and explaining the procedures, and timelines for each stage.
thanks
