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,

I have an MBA from US. but the problem that the job description doesn't require advanced degree. Do you think the department of Labor may accept the petition ? Hello,

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,

Here are my basic questions: 1) I want to work in entertainment in New York (particularly casting). Say I get a job offer with a casting agency in New York and they want me to start in a month. My ultimate goal is to live in NYC, but I know that permanent residency takes forever to get. So what's the quickest way to get down there and start working? I don't think I qualify for a TN (the job titles seem a little off from what I would be doing) and H1B's can take a while to get (plus the quota might be full). Since I just graduated, could I get something like a J1 while I wait for an H1B (I've heard J1 processing times are shorter?), and then apply for EB3 while on H1B? 2) Everything I just said aside, what do you think would be the quickest route to being able to start work if I got an offer tomorrow? Are there other options that I could attain quickly and then be able to switch to an H1B later? Thanks, much appreciated!!
