Hi,
so the title sums up my question. I earned a PhD earlier this year from a US university and decided to return to my home country for some unfinished business. I want to tie loose ends over the next 1.5 years and return to the US in 2020 for good. Is there any harm in submitting an NIW petition some time soon, even if I may get (hopefully) an approval say next summer? I plan on travelling to the US on a B and/or F1 visa until I'm ready to return with a GC. Would it look bad/weird to the customs officer when he sees that I have an approved I-140, yet travel with a non-immigrant visa?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
