Hello Everyone.
I am on H1B extension based on I-140 approval and my current H1 expires October 2020. I have a Canadian PR and had moved to Canada in November 2018 and was working for my US employer remotely from Canada. I moved to the US in November 2019, as work was getting busy and my employer asked me to come back and work from the US office. I have two situations going on as follows:
A) I have to live in Canada for another year to meet Canadian Permanent Residency (PR) obligation (2 years obligation). If I have to meet Canadian PR obligation, I need to move back to Canada by June 2020, else I will loose my PR.
B) Regarding H1B, my previous year's salary are less than the prevailing wages (from LCA). I have heard of cases where USCIS are questioning candidates regarding the salary being less than the prevailing wages. USCIS is sending out RFE or rejecting renewal.
I have questions and seek for some advice as follows:
1) I am sure with the current administration I would get RFE. What's the likelihood of me getting H1B extension and are their any measures to mitigate any anticipated issues.
2) Would USCIS question why I was living outside of US and working on H1B and, would this be an issue.
3) If I continue to stay in the US beyond June 2020, I would loose my Canadian PR and in case if my H1B gets denied, l will end up loosing both my Canadian PR and H1B. Is it a good idea to give up my Canadian PR for H1B.
I would appreciate any advice and thanks for your time.
Regards,
