Can my wife start working on approved h1b from 1st oct while being in US on h4 without leaving US?

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
As your wife's employer will be filing the H-1B without a change of status since she is not in the US, she must consular process the H-1B at an American consulate or embassy. She could start checking with the consular post some time in July to see when she can make the application if she is applying for a cap H-1B assuming that the petition is approved. Her coming to the US in August 2014 will do nothing to authorize her work under H-1B status in October.

It depends. The I 130 will be approved in 4-6 months usually, but the priority date will take 2 years.

How long will it take for a petition to be approved for my child if I hold a green card?

Answered by attorney Michael Alexander Yurasov-Lichtenberg (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
USCIS takes 20 months to approve an I-130 petition. Children (unmarried, under 21 years of age) of permanent residents have to wait 2 years and 11 months before they can get immigrant visas; the period is counted from the date of filing of the petition, not from the date of its approval. Age of the beneficiary "stops" after the petition is filed and until it is approved (so, if USCIS takes 22 months to approve your petition, your child's age on the date when an immigrant visa becomes available to him/her will be counted as the child's real age minus 22 months).
