Hi,
I work for a (Non profit) Institution of Higher education. I am the first employee in this organisation on H-1.The company now has 25 full time and 30 part time faculty/staff. I am Network Administrator here and have completed MS in 2002 while I was working here. Since the position did not demand for MS, the case was filed under EB3.
Labor was applied through RIR in EB3 category in February 2004 and
was cleared in Jan 2006. Applied for I-140 in April 2006- Cleared in August 2006. If the VISA dates become current next month( currently EB3 is June 2003), and I apply for I-485, how soon can I get the physical GC ?
I applied for H-1 from another company last year (2006). I still did not work for that company yet. Will that H-1 be valid until the dates mentioned on the approval letter? OR will the H-1 become invalid if I do not use it for XXX months/years? I applied that H-1 because the current H-1 is not under quota because it is a non-profit & institution of higher education and I intend to move to a different company.
Will there be a problem in receiving GC if I move to a different consulting company with EAD from this Non-profit Inst. and work as consultant?
I also have an option to upgrade with my current non-profit Inst. employer to EB2. Do you suggest this?
Is there any advantage to apply through EB2 even when the EB3 is also current? Will the Eb2 get GC faster?
