Hi,
I came to US last year on L1 through my India based Software company on a year long assignment, which is going to be over this winter.
After coming here, I liked America a lot and I want to stay here longer. I am ready to spend time/money and take risks to get a Green Card here. I am very novice in the details of GC, but started going through internet sites to get some details. Now, I need detailed information how to go ahead on this.
My specific questions are:
1. If I want to switch a job to a company which will sponsor green card for me, what I need to do. my current company will not do. what sites I have to look for. I went to monster.com, i see lots of job matching my proflle, but how to know if they will sponsor GC for me.
2. If I find a company who will sponsor GC for me, do I need to go back to India I can get it all done here.
3. Is it legal to apply for a job here, while I am on L1.
4. It looks like I can go for change status to new petition. what are the pros cons for those.
5. Does the time I was here on L1 will be counted for calculationg 6 years.
6. How much time, it will take for H1 processing? how much expenses are involved. If my assignment gets over, before the H1 processing, what options I have got.
Please reply me.
Regards
