尊敬的8老师,
几年前咨询过您,现在又有新的问题,想听您的看法。
今年6月,我老公H1b 6年到期。3年前刚renew H1b, 换了工作,又H1b transfer到现在的公司。在前公司有申请绿卡,I140通过了,有了PD. 到新的公司又重新申请perm, 今天通知说通过了,可以申请下一步140,并建议与485一起递交,因为PD已经current.
想问8老师,一起递交140和485好吗?
-Yes. Talk to the lawyer to claim the priority date retention when you file the new I-140 and I-485 concurrently.
我以前在哪儿看到说一起递交有时会有风险,我也不记得是为什么了。还是先递交140(打算加急申请),等通过了再递交485?
因为H1b 6月到期,需要更新。律师的意思是如果一起递交140和485,就不用再更新H1b?这样可行吗?我感觉有点悬呢。那6月以后怎么工作呢?
-You need to ask the employer to extend your H-1B even if you file I-485!!. Otherwise, if your new I-140 or I-485 is not approved, you have to leave US. Also, it takes about 16 months for the EAD to be approved, so if you do not extend your H-1B, you cannot work after your current H-1b expires and before the EAD is approved.
请8老师指点。
