Legal Question in Immigration Law in New Jersey

Green Card Filing

My H1b expires Aug 10 of next year. Yet I have to start labor filing. I am going to contact an attorney within this week. Is it possible that I will get my visa will get extended by Aug 10 of next year. Is labor approval is enough to get the visa extension.

Thanks

Ram

Re: Green Card Filing

Based on your post, I assume that your 6th year in H-1B status will expire next August. You should contact an attorney immediately about filing a labor certification since you will need to do so ASAP so that it will be approved by the time your H-1B expires. But the labor certification alone will not be enough for you to get your H-1B extension. There are many complex issues regarding labor certifications and your last year in H-1B status.

If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact my office.
