Hi all,

I'm currently working for a non profit organization. I have used up 4 years of my H1B. I don't know if my employer will sponsor GC for me. I plan to switch to a for profit company but the H1B quota has run out this year. If I switch next year, I will only have 6 months left, I don't think any company would sponsor me for just 6 months.

I'm just wondering if it is possible to be working for a company under H1B status while have another company files for an Eb2 GC petition for me at the same time.

And if I were able to have a company that is willing to sponsor the GC for me under EB2 now, How long will it take for me to start working for the company from the day the company starts the process?

Thank you,
