Question details
I was in the fulltime employee in H1B and filed for the PERM application. after one year and approval of Perm application, The employer reduced my working hour from 1.0FTE to 0.8FTE and filed my H1b extension for the seventh year. My question is that, Is there any affect on my PERM application or in the future I-140 and I485 applications.
ANSWER
Reduction of hour from full time to part time can raise issues about the availability of qualifying job (full time, permanent) for green card purposes. In addition, this can be a violation of H-1 laws. I suggest you speak with a lawyer.
