H1B extension post 6 yrs

[rrm85]

Hello Experts,

Please share your valuable opinions.

The employee is in research field.

2016- GC process not initiated as the employer mentioned that there was not enough time to file before the current H1B 6 yr expires.

2016- Applied H4 and H4 EAD approved with start date in Feb 2017 and H1B expired in 2016.

2019- with the H4 EAD revocation loom, planned to self apply GC process with NIW option. The employee makes a good case for applying GC with NIW per the employment field.

We understand that we should have acted faster to get in GC process started before the H1B 6 yr expires. But in order to keep the current employment active, we are assessing options before H4EAD is revoked.

Once we have i140 approved, we can reapply or submit a new H1B. H1B is CAP exempt per the employment area. 

 

Thank you all for your time.
