Guys/Gals,
I have been working as a contractor for the past 6 yrs for an american consulting company and my project is going to be ended by May 31st and I am afraid I might be laid-off by my consulting company.
My green card is in process, I-140 approved but waiting for I-485 dates to become to apply for I-485.
If I get laid-off, what are my options? Would it be possible, i can transfter my H1B and I guess I need to start GC from scratch. Can I transfer H1B with out applying for new GC?
If I apply for new GC, can i carry over my current priority date?
I have completed 6 yrs on H1B and close to 10 yrs on H1B right now.
I appreciate your valuable inputs.
Thanks,
