Hello Everybody,
I am one of the millions who filed for 140/485 in EB3 at Dec 31st, 2004 deadline to beat the retrogression. My 140 is approved and have already got the EAD/AP. Same with my wife. She is using her EAD to do some work. I am still with H1 employer and probably will remain with him for forseeable future.
My 6yrs are getting over on August 8th. I called my attorney and asked him if I need to get the H1 extension. He said it is okay to work on EAD but he would really prefer for me to have H1. He said I can get the 3yrs extension in one attempt.
My dilemma is do I need to have H1? It is going to cost freakin $2000 again. I have already spent so much money on immigration in last six years that I would have probably never saved in my life time of working in India. Regardless, that is not the only issue. How does it effect my wife's situation? that is my main point.
Any one in similar boat or with any opinions? I would really appreciate to hear from you.
Thanks,
One more suffering H1 guy....
