EB1 queries

[linux_hacks]

Hello,

 

I am working for a private firm over a H1B permit and my H1B expires in October 2013 but my employer is in process of filing for GC ( EB2 category) and renew H1B. Current EB2 GC process is around for June 2004 applicants and I am expecting it would take atleast 4-5 years to come to any result.

 

Coming to my issue, before I've been in to US, free-lancer as roles Technical Consulting Manager for a company in US for around 3 months and  VP of Product Engineering for a small firm in Australia. There are no financial transactions since I entered in to US because that would result in violating my H1B.  I'm looking to apply for EB1 (self declaration) with out any employer.. I have the proofs that I worked for the above roles but since being smaller companies they didn't pay me a competitive salary and I accepted offers because of some potential advantages to me as well.  I  talked to Immigration department in person and showed them proofs and their response is it depends on the final documents that I submit but given the facts or proofs that I have shown..I am eligible for EB1 Self declaration petition.

 

Now I would like to know given the situations, what is the probability that I would get EB1?

 

Thanks.

Send your credentials to the firm of Murthy and ask for an evaluation of your chances.

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking here. How is it that you are proposing you qualify under the EB1 extraordinary ability category?

You have to wait like others..there is no shortcuts...in other words -  you are not qualified for EB1 based on your post.

OP,  speak with an attorney for a reality check.  If you are as talented as you say you are, you should have no problem finding an employer sponsor.
