前面看8老师回复小猪不倒讲是裁员后30天之内file 了H1-B Transfer 的申请应该问题不大,看完后
觉得有些放心,结果今天和律师谈这事,他说从接受offer, 开始准备到 file 上去至
少要8天的时间,因为 Labor Application 要等移民局审批,这个审批过程要七天。
-Yes, Labor Condition Application (LCA) need to be approved by Department of Labor. It is very reasonable to take about one week to two weeks for the whole paperwork preparation (depends on how efficent the HR is).
还说如果公司近几年没办过 H1-B,审批的时间可能更长。这个律师的说法靠谱不?-Not really. If you were H-1 holder and just laid off, you can work after filing H-1 transfer petition. You also can ask the new employer to use premium processing to get the H-1 approved in 15 days, if necessary.
有没有什么靠谱的律师推荐!
-No, but H-1 peititon is very simple and any immigration lawyer should have no problem to handle it. So, you may consult some more lawyers.
非常感谢8老师!
