Is it risky to submit i140 during OPT as F1/OPT is non-immigrant intent. I'm also in the middle of STEM OPT extension. The lawyer from Fragomen is telling that i140 application won't cause any problem. But should I at least wait for stem opt approval?
Don't do this.Which country are you from? I140 means you are showing immigrant intent.In OPT you cannot show immigrant intent. If you are from a country other than India or China wait till OPT STEM approval and then move to GC EAD directly.
I'm from Bangladesh. Thanks for your advice.
Dont risk OPT STEM denial because of this.
But can't you file I-140 and not I-485? Since I-140 is for future employment? I was thinking that it's in the adjustment stage that uscis will check if your current status gives you the option to adjust, I.e dual intent and all that.
I think it will happen during labour petition.IMHO, the damage is already done.
Note that I am applying under EB1. So I didn't need to go through the perm. Submitting i140 will be the first time showing immigration intent.
Sure that's great.You must be a genius.Do it after OPT Stem and dont exit out of the country while GC is in process.
Yup, you can jump as many jobs during OPT... better use or lose it
