My employer not giving me visa document what to do?

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Verbal termination is not sufficient to escape liability for continued wages payment by an employer. The employer must also notify USCIS of the termination, and give you transportation costs back to the home country. On your other questions, you cannot force an employer to continue H-1B sponsorship if it does not wish to continue. Even if you were to obtain a copy of the H-1B filing and RFE, you have no right to act on behalf of the H-1B petitioning organization to respond to USCIS. You lack legal standing. I suggest that you attempt to work it out with your employer if you wish a copy of the H-1B filing. Many employers do not wish to release such papers because they many times contain confidential company information. Perhaps your employer could redact the parts which are of the most concern to the company.

How long it takes to obtain a Green Card for my daughter if I am a lawful permanent resident or what is the processing time?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Michael Alexander Yurasov-Lichtenberg (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
If your daughter remains unmarried, her case will become current in about 6 years (8 years if she a citizen of the Philippines; 18 years - if she is a Mexican). Each year, a limited number of green cards is being granted to children of U.S. citizens and residents, and the allocation is specific to each country. The wait time is longer for the Philippines and Mexico because there are many people from these countries who live legally in the U.S. and apply for their relatives. If your daughter becomes married, your petition for her will be denied. If you become a U.S. citizen, it will speed up the process by about 1 year (but will make it 5 years longer if your daughetr is a citizen of the Philippines).
