Yeah I realize that :yikes: but I may have to change my job before I apply for the green card... cos I don't want to be stuck in this shitty job during the application process, which probably takes what.. 3 years?? :angry:
 
btw, I need to find out more about this PERM thing. Isn't it something new? :hmm:

so do you work as an immigrations officer? :ohmy:

Well if you can file PERM, that will give proof that you have an LC on file, then you can extend your H-1 passed the six years, once a year for a year at a time. Alltogether right now its probably taking yes somewhere close to 3 - 4 years. But yeah, you want to be at a job you like because once you transfer to a new job you have to start the process over.

Yes its pretty new. We've only filed a few cases so far but they've all been approved. Here is some basic info http://www.twmlaw.com/resources/perm_memo.html

I'm not an immigration officer :lol: I'm a legal assistant for an immigration lawyer. I prepare and file H-1B visas all day long, working for/with the software companies/employees.
 
LC is what... labor condition? LCA?

But you have to reapply only if you change jobs before your GC comes thru, right?

What if I bite my teeth at this job and wait till I get my GC. Then I can change to wherever I want I guess.
 
LC - Labor Certificate (1st step of GC process)

I-140 (second stage)

I-485 (last stage)


If you stick it out at one job and get your GC you can then go work wherever you want.

Ohhhhhhhh ya. We just had a client that quit and moved back to Taiwan or some crap, after waiting like 5+ years for his GC. Well, not more than a month after he left, guess what came in the mail? :|
 
Well, I hope this process isn't as nerve wracking for me! :shifty: :|

But I'm hearing good things about how the speed of processing is getting faster and that the govt is doing a pretty good job at clearing up its backlog!

Hope thats true! :love:

Lesser wait times! :love:
 
Well good luck with whatever you do, and you can always ask me questions whenever you want :wink:
 
No-one is here. I guess I will drink alone.:(
 
Hey! I am good ta! How are you?

I have a question - I can't get that torrent site you posted in the chili peppers thread to let me register. Is that normal?:(
 
i'm good, getting ready to go out biking :dancing:

that torrent site has a member limit, so it's full most of the time. but they delete inactive accounts all the time.


i'll also look and see if it's on any other torrent sites :up:



:wave: hey YBOR, grab a seat & a drink :wink:
 
Hey YBOR - not at all.

I am just in the process of emailing everyone I know in England to see if someone will come and see the Chili Peppers with me this summer!

Cheers tre:up:

I also see you are taking the fitness thing very seriously! i am impressed.
 
Tre :bow: and :kiss: and :bow: again!

Happy biking and see you later!:wave:
 
See Ya TRE:wave:


Tills - I Love the Chilli Peppers. Your so lucky to get to see them.
