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!
