Question #1 – Employment Based Immigration – Green Card
My Employer filed for my Labor in January of this year, it is on appeal, and my H1 is expiring this December, 2012. Am I eligible for either a one year or three year extension under the AC21?
In October of 2000, Congress passed the American Competitiveness in the 21st Century Act (“AC21”). On October 18, 2000 the President signed the bill and most of the provisions became effective immediately. AC21 has two key provisions that pertain to the ability of an H-1B nonimmigrant to obtain extensions in H-1B worker status if – the Green Card process was initiated on their behalf prior to their 6th year as an H-1B nonimmigrant.
§104(c) provides for three (3) year extensions of H-1B Worker status beyond the 6th year, if:
• the H-1B nonimmigrant has an I-140 petition which has been approved but for the unavailability of visa numbers due to the per country limitations, the Applicant is unable to Adjust Status to Permanent Resident.
