Planning to marry SO (US citizen) next month after which she would sponsor my GC. My H1B (first cycle) is valid until June 2022, and based on current timelines GC would take 12-15 months, what happens if I don't get my GC before H1 expires, can my current company renew it while my GC application will likely be in its final stages? And two, has anyone used online service like Boundless Immigration($900) or similar services, or is getting an attorney recommended for GC ($3-5k)?

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

Hi Fishes
My Android career is in a good shape in India. My parents are considering a marriage alliance with an NRI who is a Civil engineer in Texas. If I move with him by leaving my current job, what are my job prospects in Texas? How long does it usually take to get work visa and how easy/tough is it to get a job there considering I have 6+ years of experience in the field?

Recommend traveling with an Advance Parole (I-131) or H1 B . I heard once you enter the country on a AP you lose your h1B
