H1B greater than 3 years.

[rajdab.sas]

Hello:

I got my H1b approved for a period of one year only and expires on Oct 27th, 2019. I work through a consultancy. Any precautions I can take in the future which can help me getting the H1b approved for 3 years in the upcoming H1B extension after Oct 27th, 2019. Any particular documents needed for getting the H1b approved for 3 years? If I go for stamping, do I need to be careful with social media at the port of entry? Any tips or recommendations you can give with reference to social media during port of entry? My EB2 priority date is Feb 4th, 2015 and I'm planning to marry a girl who is a Nepal citizen and she's on OPT right now. Can I move my priority date to EB2 Nepal category after marriage? If yes, what would be my next steps - how soon can I file for I-485 interview? 

Thanks,
Rajesh.

Nowadays, H1s for jobs in consulting companies are often only approved for the duration of the project. If you want to get an H1 for 3 years,, find an employer who isn't a consulting company.

1. Proper documentation - SOW/MSA and Client letter mentioning 3 years project with detailed itinerary certified by the end-client. 

2. Social media - yes. Make sure its consistent with your profile.

3. That depends upon if she has filed for AOS or not. 

4. Interview scheduling is done by USCIS.

Get a long term project for 3 years. Depends on P.O and contract that USCIS get from your employer, you get approval
