Hi,
I am citizen of India and am currently on H-1B visa and my 6th year of H-1B visa with recapture period is expiring on January 5,2016.I live in Dallas,TX. My employer has filed my EB-2 Greencard application and my priority date is April 29,2015. As of 11/2/2015, DOL is currently processing PERM with priority dates of April 2015. My queries related to this are as below:
1) Is there a way to know EXACTLY which priority date is DOL processing? Can we know if DOL is currently processing cases with
April 1-15 OR April 25-April 30 timeframe? I am asking since my 6th year of H-1B is expiring on January 5,2016 and hence wanted to get an idea of timeframe of my I-140 AND H-1B extension under premium processing.
2) My current driver license expires on 12/13/2015. My employer has already filed for my H-1B extension but they did in October 2,2015 under regular processing. Is there a possibility that Texas DPS/DMV will give me a new driver valid until January 5,2016 if I show them just the I-797C receipt notice of my H1-B extension filing? What are my options?
Any responses will be greatly appreciated! Thanks ahead of time!!!
