    Default Finding an Employer Who Will Sponsor an Employee for a Green Card

    Hi,

    I am on the 4th year of my H-1B (H-1B status started on October 2009). I am currently seeking new opportunities and looking for companies willing to file my Employment-based Greencard under EB-2 category since I have an M.S degree in Telecom Engg from a U.S university. My dilemma is how much "safe time" have I left with me to find a job in a company who is willing to sponsor my GC before it's too late? I have heard that most companies resist in sponsoring your GC if you are in your 5th year of H-1B, Is this true? If yes, what is the reason? I am getting married this November and will be going to India for 1 month. So I believe I won't be able to start a new Job until February 2014 as I would need to have 3 paychecks in the first place for H-1B transfer and also NO company these days is willing to file GC right away after hiring you as they want to see your performance for 6 months. Please advise, any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Companies will sponsor GCs for "good" people for jobs which they cannot fill otherwise. They work around the time constraints. You should not expect that a GC will be filed for you by any new employer. I know of many telecom PhDs who took many years to find an employer in the area. If you are really good and have unique qualifications such that you can get through PERM, you have no worries as it will all be worked out.
