    Exclamation Recent Green Card Approved, H1b Application Will Be Sent Next Month

    Hello,
    I know this post might sound crazy but I am in a bit of a dilemma,

    I just received approval for my I-485 and the production of my card from a I-140 NIW, I should be getting the green card next month,


    My employer is ready to sent my H1B application, I think by February. MY question is this:

    Is it possible to send a H1B application with the green card approved? I want to know because my working offer might change for worse if I start using the green card at this time. so if I can send the H1B application with the green card approved I would secure my position and salary while if I change salary might be different and position not as good,

    thank you for the help and I hope this crazy post is kind of clear, believe me I would want to start using my green card but my current employer is not easy to deal with,

    You do realize that with a green card you can work for any company in the US, not just companies willing to sponsor H1B visa holders?

    ...and you don't need any sort of visa either.

    Thank you for the responses, I do realize that I will be able to work in any place once with the green card and no visa necessary,

    however my current position and the position I will be getting with the H1B could change with the green card with the same employer due to changes in funding and in the institution. So it is my desire to obtain the position offered by the H1B in February next year but I want to know if that is possible with an approve green card, the H1B application will be sent by February next year and the green card was approved today,

    appreciate the assistance,

    If you want to be on H1B, relinquish your green card and start all over again.

    No, you really cannot do that. Not without putting your green card at risk.
