Re: Can an employer hold onto passport?

Re: EB3 woes

Thanks tigerbaywarrior, I think that's the best news we've had in the last 48 hours. We were (hopefully wrongly!) under the impression that there was a 6 year time limit on the H1B and then we'd be...

Re: EB3 woes

I only say the attorney mislead the employer as they were under the impression, as we were, that the approval of the I-140 would be followed by Green Cards for both of us within a month. The bosses...

Re: Husband's I-140 approved - what's next?
