Thien N Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 So my situation is rather special. I have CS degree (STEM), and am eligible to apply for OPT-extension. The current company I am working at does not have E-verify, and doesn't want to enroll in E-verify, which left me to other choice, either H1-B or EB-3. H1-B: Apply in April, if fail then I have to go back to school (don't really want to switch company, it's hard to find a job in my place anyway). I don't really have money to do this. EB-3: - will it be okay to apply for EB-3 under OPT? my OPT expired in May 15, 2016. I'm Vietnamese, and upon checking on Visa Bulletin, the current priority date is 1 - Oct - 2016 (3 months) - I don't plan to travel, will it affect my F-1 status after my company submit the documents? - I still have 3 months unemployment. If you guys have any questions that need to ask, please feel free to do so. Thank you in advance. Tylor Link to comment
JoeF Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 It is possible to start the GC process while on F1 (OPT is not a status.) Travel can be an issue, as can the PD, if it retrogresses. It is best to discuss this with a lawyer. Link to comment
