Amazing: Even few days ago, I still asked here if I need another H1-B for another part-time job. Today just get the Green Card without any notices. Even just now, I check my I485 status -- still pending not decision yet. Look like now 移民局非常规处理!!
首先,十分感谢这里的论坛,得到很多支持。现分享我的独特经验。I started Green Card in Nov. 2003, turn in 485 appication in 7/2007. But unfortunally, I got laid off in 2008, and 2009 I got 485 REF and finally this 485 denied due to lost the job. 大家应该能感受到当时我的feeling. 甚至想到绿卡遥遥无期。
但2010.01 时来运转,原公司竟再hire me as same position. 律师竟帮我申请one-year H1B (not need new cap), ant then applied for 485 again with previous approved I-140. Today, I got green card !!
想说的时,有些事情甚至律师自己都不清楚:
When 485 got denied, I consulted some 律师,大多数律师说我的140 已经无用;485 一定要重新开始(注意:他们还特别强调从PERM 开始)。期间一些公司想hire me, 但均不成功,原因是其公司律师说不能办H1B!!现我的结论是,H1B 即便是超6年,并且已无pending LC/140/485, 照样可以申请H1B, 这是我的亲身经历是:2010.1 H1B 申请得到批复!!并沿用旧的140,重新申请485,也可以的!! 当然这是否与雇佣公司一直是一样的有关,我不确定。
好了,讲了这么多,给大家鼓鼓气,不要放弃!
谢谢本论坛!!
