我目前拿的是学校的H1B签证,到下个月中旬即2月15日到期。现在拿到了新的学校的offer,但是H1B transfer的手续2月15号之前应该没办法办好,
-One month should be longer enough for H-1 petition filing. Hire an immigration lawyer to help you.
所以就出现了一段时间的gap。我准备在现有H1b到期之前(2月15日)同时提交I-140和485concurrent,以解决这个gap的问题。但是现在不知道应该在哪里提交140+485,因为新旧学校处在两个不同的区(一个tsc 一个nsc)
-The I-485 filing does not solve your H-1 status gap. I-485 filing just allow you to saty in US legally, and you have to have EAD to work. If you can not file H-1 transfer before your current H-1 I-94 expires, your H-1 trnsfer will be approved, but the approval will have no I-94. So, you have to go to China to get the H-1 visa to come back if you want to use H-1 status to work. This is irrelevant to I-485 filing.
1)我如果在现在的居住地 (nsc)提交, 因为交完后马上就要搬家,mailing address就会变动。地址变更到tsc后,case会不会也转到tsc?
-Do you mean your I-140/I-485 filing? If so, you need to update your address (online or calling) for your cases after you get the receipt. You also need to file AR-11 online or mail. If you means H-1 transfer, it does not matter to your address change because the H-1 is filed by your employer, and the USCIS letter will be mailed to the employer/lawyer.
另外听说uscis更新住址比较慢,中间可能会有一段时间收不到邮件。
2)如果在新的居住地提交到tsc, 我就必须用新的offer letter,但是H1B的签证还是原来学校给申请的,这种情况会不会对140/485的审批造成影响呢?
-Not at all.
我的这种情况8老师觉得应该在哪里提交比较好呢? 希望8老师帮忙解答。 万分感谢!
