    Default H1B to Green Card

    Hi,

    I have got a new job offer and they are sponsoring my H1B visa but they are not sure whether they will be able to help me with the green card? I have been here in F1 as student for 6 years (Bsc and Msc).

    Is there anyway that I can apply for greencard without employee sponsoring for it?

    Also what are my options if I get married for my spouse to work here?

    Thx

    You can petition for permanent residence while in the USA under an H1-B visa. However, having an employer petition on your behalf is by far the easiest way to obtain permanent residency. (Otherwise you would ordinarily have to establish yourself to be an alien of extraordinary ability, intending to remain in the U.S. to continue working in your field of expertise, with substantial resulting benefit to the United States.)

    A dependent spouse accompanying you on the basis of your H1-B visa, by virtue of an H4 visa, would not be eligible to work.
