GC Related Question

[rakee@1234]

This Question is related to GC Processing. My manager said he will start my GC processing in Q2 of 2019 but when i am asking now he is saying that my extension is in process (My current visa is valid until 08/10/19 so they initiated my extension process) and cannot start the GC processing.

Question 1: Is H1 Extension is related to GC processing ? I did not understand the relation when my manager said ?

Question 2: Is there a way to start my GC Processing now or i need to wait until my extension gets approved ?

Please share your comments.

Thanks..!!

1. No.

2. Only the company can start the process.

H1 and GC are unrelated.

Thanks for the above inputs. So, based on the above inputs i can still ask my manager now to initiate GC Processing while my H1 extension is going on. Correct ?

They are not related but personally I feel they want to make sure your H1B extension gets approved before starting GC process.
