goutham31 Posted October 14, 2013 Report Posted October 14, 2013 Hi experts, My H1B started from Oct 1, 2013. I did my M.S. in the US, and was on STEM OPT before that. Just want to know when we should ask employer to file for GC? Is there a specific time/period we have to remain on H1B before employer can file for GC, or can we ask employer so file for GC once we are on H1B? Please let me know. Thanks.
omshiv Posted October 14, 2013 Report Posted October 14, 2013 You don't ask! They would file when they want to. Moreover you have not even completed 1 month with them on H1b..asking them could be risky for you with even job loss.

If he is willing to hire you ask future employee then he will. An employer is not supposed to file your GC, everything depends on the employer whether he wants to or not.
goutham31 Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Posted October 15, 2013 Thanks for the response guys!
omshiv Posted October 15, 2013 Report Posted October 15, 2013 An employer is not supposed to file your GC you mean an employer IS SUPPOSED to file for your GC.
t75 Posted October 15, 2013 Report Posted October 15, 2013 You are rather presumptuous. You have only an MS and very little experience
rahul412 Posted October 15, 2013 Report Posted October 15, 2013 you mean an employer IS SUPPOSED to file for your GC. Did I said that?? The way OP was asking for help, I think he might be thinking that employer WILL file his GC.
omshiv Posted October 15, 2013 Report Posted October 15, 2013 Did I said that?? The way OP was asking for help, I think he might be thinking that employer WILL file his GC. Oh ok...probably I misunderstood. between the employee and employer..its the Employer who is supposed to file GC...that was the point I was intending to make :)
s11111 Posted October 15, 2013 Report Posted October 15, 2013 Hello Everyone, My employer is planning to file GC for me and have a couple questions need to get clarify here. I have did my MS in US and i got a job on my first opt after 9months from opt start date. and my question is what date i need to put start date of employment on GC application with employer? worked with same employer from my first job (opt/stem ext opt/H1)
omshiv Posted October 16, 2013 Report Posted October 16, 2013 TRUTH should be the answer..why is this even a question?
s11111 Posted October 16, 2013 Report Posted October 16, 2013 Do they question in future about what work did you perform in first opt from start date to until 9th month because i was started work after 9th month.
t75 Posted October 16, 2013 Report Posted October 16, 2013 What did you do for 9 months and what were the dates of your OPT start and work start?

Here is an answer (rather than a moral judgement): There is no time limit. Yes, you can request your employer for GC, it is not illegal to do so. Your employer can file even on October 1.
s11111 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Posted October 17, 2013 What did you do for 9 months and what were the dates of your OPT start and work start? i am on bench for 9 months and searching for a job.
