Guys, question. Once we have the I-140, I know that we get EAD and yearly H1B extensions. Do we have to follow the same process for these extensions that we followed for original 3yrs H1B extension? Also we this new memo, are these extensions under scrutiny too??

Yearly extension only after EAD. EAD only after your date is current. There's usually a 7 year lag for EB2 between i140 and priority date becoming current.

Why would we get only yearly extensions ? Why not 3yrs

I mean the process we followed after 3yrs to get 3 yrs extension. Do we follow same process for yearly extension after I-140?

Process remains same. LCA. Documentation. Etc. However, the basis for extension changes.

It can be 3 years extension unless the LCA has shorter dates or uscis approves lesser time...

Same process. Unlimited 3 yr extensions till u get GC. Did mine in April no issues.

Do you guys think the new memo of 'additional scrutiny for extensions' will have affect on this process??

^Yes...a lot

Hi everyone,

I was affected by layoffs about a month ago and urgently looking for a good immigration lawyer.

There is a lot of noise and wrong information going in the market so looking for good recommendations. 

I have very little time left for my grace period to end and need a consultation soon. Thanks
