Hello Everybody,
Here is a situation for experts:- a) My background :- BS in Chemical Engg. with 10 + yrs experience , 5yrs experience in US
Points based on new criteria :- 76. Talking to a canadian employer. I dont have a job offer letter yet, so may be get additional 5 pts under the new criteria but I am not sure.
b) My wifes background :- Masters in Computer science from India . ~ 4years of documentable work experience, ~ 1.5 years of work experience in US . Points based on new criteria :- 75 if consider only 3 years of experience. Her total experience is 47 months, can she get pts for 4+ years of experience?
I have the following questions,
a) Which one of us has the better chance of qualifying ?
b) Does it makes sense for both of us to apply independently.
c) If we both apply independently with the other spouse shown as not accompanying ( saves us US $ 650 ) is it a problem. If one of us qualifies can we add the other spouse as an accompanying dependent latter ? Is it a problem ?
I have only 9 months left on H1B 6years limit. Employer applied for LC but does looks promising as yet.
Experts you advice needed.
