令人一頭霧水的綠卡問題><(i-140 & i-485) - 海外工作

Table of Contents

我目前的情況:
顧主:州立大學
職位:assistant professor
visa:H1b三年效期剛過,延簽正在辦理中(已於上個月拿到Form I-797,
相關文件上寫的是「240 day employment authorization extension」,
我也不太清楚為什麼是240天...)

綠卡辦理狀況:PERM剛過,剛要開始辦I-140

律師來信問我要選擇哪一種做法:
1. File your application for adjustment of status (green card) simultaneously
with the I-140 petition.
2. File the I-140 petition as premium and then file the adjustment
application once the I-140 is approved.

As of today, your priority
date is current through September 30, 2013. We will know mid-September
if it will remain current for October.

我大概知道這兩者一起辦的風險在於
一但公司財物不夠穩定或其他原因導致i-140沒過,我也就失去H1B的保護傘。
不過以州立大學而言,這點好像又不太可能發生。

律師表示
We can always submit the I-140 as regular and then if you wanted to
upgrade you can do that at a later date (we charge an administrative
fee of $100 to process the upgrade request at a later date)

這麼說起來,以目前狀況是否是同時file i-140 和 i-485 比較理想呢?

差別不大;EB2免排期,要一起辦或是先辦加急都行
如果預算不是問題,就加急(premium processing)

premium的錢得自己出,所以我就先說不了...

所以意思是說,兩者一起辦,多少省下些時間比較理想?

多數人都一起辦;但不會比pp要快; 綠卡問題請到移民板
