GREAT GURU,
I have a question regarding PERM process and job/work experience.
After my MS (industrial engg), I joined a company where I worked in the Tech support for 4.5 years. I was promoted once. Now I am planning to switch to software QA department because of specific skillset they needed for one position ( internal transfer to a different department) and who are ready to file for my GC.
iIHave BS + 1.5 years ( India ) OR MS + this 4 and half years in usa ( not sure if it will count)
I was informed by my current management that none of my experience in current dept will count for PERM process even if QA files for my GC and they are kind of discouraging my move.
I have 2 years and 15 days left on my second H1 visa. What option should I go for?
1: Move to QA department regardless of the warning?
If you are going to QA, make sure you have ASQ certification, it will make you qualify with your Indian 1.5 yrs exp. Do you have any other certification TQM, SixSigma green or balck belts. If you have any one of them you can easily qualify even EB2 for QA profession.
OR
2: Find another job in another company where my current work experience (4.5 years) will count and make sure they file for my GC? Find a financially sound company.
3: Is it advisable to change job when I have 2 years left on last H1 visa ( concerned about 7 th year extension and GC filing date)
you can jump any job, provided any one of the LC with any company must be one year old before your 7th year extn with any company.
Please advice...I need help.... Any response / suggestion / experience is highly appreciated. I am totally new to GC process and never started the process at all.
Thanks,
Gautam
