He can concurrently file for both H-1B at EB-3 at the same time but on the H-1B side, would work on the application and fix areas so you don't get denied again.

Currently I am holding a F1 Visa and pursuing a Masters degree in Business Economics. I was working for my boss under my OPT and it expired. He would like to sponsor me through EB3 and at the same time he would like to re-apply for the H1B. Is that possible? Hi,

Currently I am waiting for my new employer to finish application for a E-3 Visa, plus E-3D Visa for wife and step-son. Question I had was if/when I apply for a greed card, sponsored by employer, does that application automatically provide a green card for wife and step-son? Or do I then have to sponsor separately for them under the sponsor of family member? My son is 18 now and from reading it would be quicker to get his green card before he turns 21. Hi,

My plan is to adquire 3 more years of full time experience with my current employer and apply for EB2. I understand that experience with my own employer wont count so Am I wrong when I say that I only have 2 Option?? 1.- Apply for EB2 after 3 more years to a better position within the company where the new position requires the 5 years of experience and Profesisonal Engineer Lincense. 2.- Look for a different employer that would be willing to file for EB2 under the criteria of 5 years of experience? I really want to stay with the company I work for I love them and they love me. But seems to be hard for them to keep me without a masters.

The H1B visa is not full for this year but is moving faster so this is still an option for you. You could go via the J1 visa and yes it is a simpler process with no quota. Remember your employer has to do your EB3 (permanent residency) petition on your behalf. You can't do it yourself and it is a long process. 2. If you got a job offer and your employer was willing to sponsor your H1B visa, would go down that route as is best for your medium term prospects and options. Cj Hi Brennan,
