Question details

What is the latest development for Employment-Based Immigrants?

In employment based the last step in the green card process is something called Adjustment of Status (AOS). If you are already in the United States in legal status it is done through the form I-485. Earlier employment-based applicants were hardly interviewed by the USCIS. You file the forms and you get your green card approval and maybe you might get an inquiry or two from the government and ultimately anybody going to the USCIS personally would get the green card approved.

7 years ago By Chief Editor

Question details

I am now in the last stage of Green card and attending interview in Consulate in India for Employment based green card interview.

I have the recent offer letter from my employer. I saw from your 2012 blog you have mentioned that the employment based consular interview is difficult from foreign country consulate with some example.

Has it improved anything better recently. What type of questions can I expect. Also I have recently relocated to another city in India because of which I have resigned my current job and at the same time waiting for this green card. I have not worked with the prospective employer till now but have the offer with recent date. So did not try for any job. I am an experienced person of 15 yrs exp and just out of job for the past 5 months. Will that hurt anything? Do I need to have one on one consultation with attorney better to be safe?

Applying for Green Card while Holding H-4 Status; Applying for Green Card and Permanent Residence for Another Country Simultaneously

7 years ago By Chief Editor

Question details

I was on H-4 visa from Feb 2014 till Dec 2015. I was on H-1 visa from Dec 2015 to April 2017. In April my H-1B transfer got denied. Hence I applied for change of status from here (April 15 2017) and now my H-4 application is under process. In Dec 2016 (while I was on H-1B visa), I had applied for GC in EB2 category with my employer. My employer told me that my labor has been approved. 
1: Is there a website where we can check the status of labor if it has been approved? 
2: When can I file for I-140? Is it true that it has to be filed within 180 days of labor approval? 
3: Can my GC application continue whilst being on H-4 visa? 
4. Does the GC process, at any stage, require the applicant to be on H-1 visa? 
5: I am planning to start Canada PR procedure. Will my GC application interfere with Canada PR at any point?
