H1, Green Card

H1, Green Card
Posted November 8, 2005 - 11:32am

Does anybody know I should get my H1 visa first, and then apply green card? or I could apply these two(H1, green card) at the same time? I mean, start applying green card before I get the H1 visa. Thanks.

I suggest you consult a lawyer or discuss with your friend holding H-1 visa. :-)

You can apply at the same time. For postdoc you can apply via NIW (National Interest Waiver) or regular PERM process.

However the application of H1B take less than 3 month normally. The preparation for green card take at least 3 months normally. By the time you are ready to submit your green card application, you should get your H1B approved already.
