Thanks everyone! Just want to make sure I’m aware of the possibility to make the decision of leaving or not.

What is my chance to file GC successfully?

GC Us typically filed for a role in future.

In your case, yes the pay is low currently and u will be filed in eb3. Your immigration team will have more details on when would be a good time to file. For ex: if it still in your first year of h1b, they would wait couple more years before they file etx..this really changes from org to org and chances are that ur partner doesnt have complete details. U can start a conversation with ur immigration team., copying your partner

Good luck.

You can’t pick a number and say it’s low. It depends on the position, location and skill set. If the prevailing wage in tax is 75k that is what’s going to be on your application.

P1 is spot on ... BUT given the current immigration environment, the higher the wage and more specialized the role the chances of i140 etc erc being approved is higher. Same goes for H1Bs and transfers. But you won’t know till u try

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
