Hi,

I was informed by my employer that my Green card is in process in August 2012. I completed my 6 years on H1b in Sept/Oct 2012. I have a vaild H1B visa and work permit till Sept 2013.

I recently found out that my employer has not filed for my green card and has asked me to travel back. I have stayed in us on H1B for 6 years and 7 months now. What are the repercussions of my over stay and what are the action I can?

You have been working illegally for the last 7 months. This will result in lots of problems. You should discuss your situation with a good immigration lawyer ASAP.

Is there any good immigration lawyer you know?

You are on the forum of a very good immigration law firm...

There is a phone number on top of the page.

Can my employer file for green card now? I do have a valid I-94 and work permit

That was issued in error and USCIS will eventually revoke that and make you illegal retroactively.

You need to discuss your situation with a good immigration lawyer ASAP!
