Changing Immigration status

[sunil muley]

If someone can help me

How do I go about changing my immigration status from H1-b to permanent resident. I am getting married pretty soon.

Also - I am trying to get an extension for my H-1 B visa. Is the INS
approving renewals for H1-B holders ?

Hire a lawyer...

1. File Labor Cert (if needed), then I-140, then I-485. Go first to the labor cert forum.

2. Of course INS is approving renewals. Go to the H1 forum.

But seriously, get a lawyer.

Are you talking about Employment GC or Family Based GC?

I believe most (or all) of us in this forum are Employment Based GC. If you are going to marry an American, you might want to visit the Family-based GC forum for more info.
