    Default H1B Expiring in the Middle of Green Card Application

    Hi, my H1B expires in several months and we are in the first stage of my green card application. When my H1B expires, do I need to renew it or can I get a TN visa until my green card application is complete? What are my options? It doesn't make sense to pay $3-4k for a H1B renewal when my $15k green card application is currently in the works.

    Thanks.

    We have no way of knowing if you qualify for a TN visa, let alone whether you could obtain one on your (murky) schedule. I suggest consulting an immigration lawyer.

    I think my lawyer recommended extending my H1B. Is an H1B extension the same thing as applying for a new H1B with regards to paperwork and (attorney) fees? If I remember correctly, one can only have 7 years total on an H1B? I was on a TN prior to my H1B and am pretty much doing the same thing with either status/visa.

    Thanks for the reply.
