My priority date is of 2014. With current GC-dates stuck at 2009, it seems rather impossible to get GC anytime soon. So if I were to work outside of US for a few years, I know that my priority date is not affected. 1) Assuming that the priority date does become current while I am out of USA (say working in India for 5+ years), do I still get my GC ? 2) What if I have become a Canadian citizen by then? Does that have any effect on my GC when my priority date becomes current? #h1b #greencard #visa #immigration
Can't the company that filed for your I140 cancel it once you are no longer working for them in US? Or will you be still working for them say in Canada!
I don't think good companies cancel their ex-employees i140 just like that? What benefit do they get by doing the extra work?
I see. That's good to know. Is there a way to check that ? And if so , what will be the plan - get a H1B and enter the country again
Problem is u won’t get your GC even in 5 years
So I have a quick question here while there are lot of net articles which says we will get green card in 150 years but if you use any of the calculator online for 2013/2014 they are expecting in 2027..which one is true , any idea guys ?
Approximately 450,000 folks in the eb2 GC line and around 3000 are processed per year, that’s how they arrive at the 150years no. In the assumption of shorter time like getting GC by 2027 they are assuming some years will process more than 3000 people. No one can say for sure which scenario will turn out to be true
AFAIK, GC is for a future position sponsored by an employer. So, if you are no longer employed by the company filing for your GC at the time the dates become current, you might be asked to prove that the employer is still ready to honor the future position. So a simple RFE followed by the confirmation letter from employer should get you the GC. I might be wrong but, this is what I know.
Canadian citizenship isn't relevant, though it is convenient as it lets you stop worrying about visa stamping. You get to keep your priority date even if you live outside the US for a long time. However, once your priority date becomes current, you must pursue a green card within 12 months, otherwise your priority date will be cancelled under INA 203(g). In your case there is no need to leave the US: you already have an H-1B and approved I-140 so you can keep extending it until your priority date becomes current.
The priority date is only good for an I-140 from a US organization that employs you. To reiterate: the old I-140 with a current priority date is no good unless you still work for the company, in roughly the same position. You can leave for years, but you can only apply for GC once you find another employer and get approved for a new I-140 that adopts the original priority date.
