Absolutely. While your H1-B is being transfered you can also apply for a green card. I would advise you to hire an immigration attorney which will cost a bit, as I've been quoted from $3500 to $8000 to go through the process of applying for green card through employment!!!! Speaking to an immigration attorney is good, as the good attorneys will call you back and talk to you personally and tell you the proccess, information and the COST, as after all they want you to retain their services!!! It is worth the money, as the paper work is incredible! It takes 2-3yrs to get a green card through employment, the earlier you start the better, especially when you have the remaining time limit of 3yrs on your H1-B. If you apply and your H1-B expires due to the time frame, you would need to leave the country and wait till your green card is approved. Best of luck |

If the company agrees for you to have your own attorney, go ahead and hire a competitive immigration attorney. Remember, his/her (attorney) loyalty will be for you. So, in case something happens to your job, then your attorney can always suggest what is the right thing to do to protect your status and stay in USA. This way you have better chances of getting your green-card. On the contrary, if the lawyer is thru the company, then he is providing services to the company in sponsoring an employee. So, you may not get advise in critical situations. Good luck. |
