Can I apply for a green card while my university applied for a H1B visa extension?

Answered by attorney David H Nachman

You CSAN apply for the Green Card while your H-1B extension petition is pending. You may want to consider the self-sponsorship provisions of the National Interest Waiver (EB-2). If you qualify for E1-1 them it is likely that NIW will be an option and since it is a lower legal standard then the E1-1 then your chances for approval are increased. The issue however with the NIW is that it is an EB-2 classification which means that if you are from India, China (or one of the other backlog countries) then the EB-1 may be a better (and faster) option. We highly recommend that you consider consulting with a qualified Immigration Law Professional before you "jump" into the green card process.

If I apply for a new H1B in the APRIL 2013 quota, will I be granted a H1B for 6 yrs minus the time already spent in USA?

David H Nachman
Answered by attorney David H Nachman
Immigration lawyer at NPZ Law Group
You are entitled to a total of 6 years or (6 x 365 days) in the U.S. as an H-1B. If you spent prior time in the U.S. as an H-1B then that time should be deducted from the 6 years. If you leave the U.S. for one full year then you can petition for a new 6 year period of time in H-1B status. There are other nuances involved with a response to your query and you would certainly want to speak with a qualified immigration lawyer to discuss same.
