Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Re: H1 B to Green Card

There are probably many options but you should not try to do it yourself so you should get an attorney to discuss your options. If you are located in Southern California, you can email me your contact info, so we can discuss your particular situation. There is no charge for consultation.

Re: H1 B to Green Card

I do a lot of self-sponsored permanent residence cases. There are two choices, basically: the EB-1 Extraordinary Ability Petition and the National Interest Waiver.

I would be happy to help you out in analyzing your situation if you contact me offline. Check me out at http://www.yardum-hunter.com or email me at [email protected].

Re: H1 B to Green Card

Not likely unless you are an extraordinary ability alien with real and demonstrable proof of international recognition in your field (EB1-1 category). Or, your research is important enough that you can get a national interest waiver (EB1-2 category). Otherwise, you need a petitioner petitioning for you.

Re: H1 B to Green Card

If you qualify under the EB5 (investor immigration visa), which means you invest at least $500,000 to a qualified business and meet certain requirement, you might apply for a green card without an employment sponsorship.

Please feel free to contact our office for further discussion. Thank you.
