8老师你好,针对最近USCIS公布的关于暂缓H1B加速处理的消息,我有几个新的问题(全部是针对cap-exempt H1B来说)
1. 如果I-129已经提交的话,I-907是允许在10月重新开放premium processing的时候再单独提交上去的,对吗?
-Yes, if the premium processing is available at that time. But we don't really know when USCIS will allow the premium processing again.
2. 最近和即将入职的学校联系,被告知H1B办理时间需要11个月左右,其中包括
- Prevailing Wage Determination (2.5-3个月)
- Labor certification (10个工作日)
- Wait time for H1B approval (8个月)
2-(1)请问这里有哪些部分可以进一步缩短处理时间?
-Yes, Prevail wage determination for H-1 can be done online in a few minutes (not need DOL approval), not several months which is for PERM filing (i.e. green card application). Normally H-1 petition can be approved in about 3 months.
2-(2)有什么办法可以敦促学校方面做internal Prevailing Wage Determination吗?-See above.
2-(3)今年五月才毕业,现在可以让即将入职的学校进行Prevailing Wage Determination吗?-The school can file H-1 petition now and put the H-1 effective date on August, the semester start date. Talk to the lawyer.
3. 如果USCIS进一步暂缓premium processing导致只能走普通通道,那么根据学校方面给的时间表,很有可能在我OPT失效(2018.7月初)之前H1B都不能批下来,请问有备选方案可以让我明年暑假继续留在这边合法工作吗?-No.
谢谢!
