Your H1B is your work authorization. You can keep your place in the green card line if you switch after your i140 is approved. If yo switch before that you apply for PERM and i140 again.
Just to be clear, if you switch after your I-140 is approved but before your I-485 is filed, you will keep your priority date and your place in line but a new PERM will need to be filed.

Yes, he's hired an attorney and I think that might be done. He had this pledge of allegiance ceremony in October 2018, so most probably the USCIS knows as well. I ask him to ask the attorney if any changes needs to be done to my application after he became a US citizen. The attorney replied no. PS - I am born and brought up in India. 30 years of age. Never been to US. Postponed my marriage plans since father said I w…
I still would have your attorney make sure that USCIS knows that you are now being sponsored as the son of a US citizen.
I am going to spur my father and the attorney into action next week.
But I am still interested to hear your estimate.
GC filed when father was GC holder -> Nov 2017
Father becomes naturalized US citizen -> October 2018
Approximately when would I get my Green Card, do you think?
Also, can you picture any political scenario affecting my GC, either for worse or for better?
Thanks a lot. Appreciate this.
Is there any country you think is doing a better job than the US in terms of skilled migration policy? edit: typo
In general, imagine the opposite of US: you have a system where you can apply online for your permanent residence, without the need of a lawyer (I didn't use one), the time to finalize is 6 months to 1 year and during all the process you have a good idea of how long every step is going to take. And a score system where the more skilled you are the faster you get in.
All documentation is put online by the government in very clear writing.
As a green card holder, I’d like to live and work abroad for several years, then return to the US. Is this feasible and how strictly enforced are the re-entry permit requirements in practice?

I have a startup project (c-corp via stripe atlas) and I have a developer interested in working with me.
Developer is a citizen of Mexico and currently works for FANG company in Washington State on TN Visa.
What would be the most ideal approach to having this person work with me on the startup project (equity-only 1099 contractor)?
I have learned that one can get a 2nd TN Visa, but we're unsure if the primary employer would be notified? Since it's on nights/weekends, it shouldn't be employer #1's business, but at the same time I don't want this person to risk their immigration status.
Additionally I'm unsure how a 1099 for a c-corp, equity compensation only, qualifies?
Would it be easier to just work in quiet for the time being until working on the project full-time is a reality?
Thanks!
- is it possible to get a work permit (and what kind of visa) for a non-graduate person, but with a 20 years of experience? (IT)
- if it is, what kind of confirmations should i provide along with my application?
- as far as i know, even if i get a visa, i couldn't get a green card without at least a masters degree. Is it right?

When did you initially enter the U.S. and in what status?
Have maintain physical presence since ~1990. There are no record of my crossing to the best of my knowledge. It's cathartic to just write it out...
What should founders of VC-funded startups with no previous exposure to the immigration system know about sponsorships and associated costs while hiring?
First, make sure to ask the right questions during the hiring process so that you know, without crossing any discrimination lines, whether a candidate requires "sponsorship" and second, establish a relationship with an immigration attorney so that you can bring good candidates to his or her attention to determine whether sponsorship is possible and worthwhile.
