Approved

Alien
Worker.


只有一個心得 也是我後悔不已的一句話: 現在立刻送件 NIW I140

你在看到這一篇文章的當下 應該也是在這一條路浮浮沉沉的NIW申請者

你現在立刻馬上即刻就趕快去送件 不要跟時間對賭

早點拿到綠卡 早點可以做自己想要的事情 或是不用被公司綁住

不用看別人臉色 不用因為害怕被裁員要立刻出境

人最難的一件事情就是看到很遠的未來

即使是一兩年後 我們都因為當下覺得公司會幫我們辦

或是覺得甚麼甚麼不會發生 但事實就是一發生了 能救自己的 就是自己申請的一張卡





※ 引述《eltonsmile (Grey's Anatomy season10)》之銘言：
: 這邊提供一個NIW-EB2的文件撰寫時程
: 最大的忠故是 越早開始寫這些文件越好
: 因為有很多事情要處理跟溝通 越早處理到最後階段越好
: 不要說為了等H1B或是其他有的沒的 而想說晚一點開始沒有關係
: 跟時間賽跑其實是很累人的
: 最佳狀態是全部都準備好 只剩下最後的一鍵送出而已...
: 等到全部準備好也半年過去了
: 我最大的後悔是沒有及早開始申請 之前想說讓公司出錢自己可以省$4500
: (或是賭注H1B會抽到...結果兩次都沒抽到 另外公司PERM辦得超級慢 O-1也沒很保險)
: 現在看來 早一點有綠卡 早一點可以跳槽 轉職 換領域等等
: 不用在同一家公司或領域被綁住多年
: 我做得好的是可能推薦信很幸運很快準備好 另外一開始文件也很快寫好
: 所以petition letter很快就出來了
: 做得不好就是應該在OPT一開始 就開始撰寫這些文件 另外一開始擔心OPT期間送件
: STEM-OPT 拿到後就可以一鍵送出了 (如果要求保險的話)

: ※ 引述《eltonsmile (Grey's Anatomy season10)》之銘言：
: : 先謝謝大家進來文章觀看
: : 問題: EB2-NIW-I140連動如何選I485或immigrant visa processing (IVP)?
: : (IVP 板上 用CP Consular Processing通稱)
: : 背景陳述:
: : 目前簽證: F1-STEM-OPT (STEM PhD degree)
: : 目前人在台灣遠端工作,預計二月中返回美國
: : 從OPT一開始就在原公司,目前沒打算換工作,但未來如果有機會,可
: : 能會想在工作滿兩年找其他機會.
: : 有三次抽H1B機會,第一次於2021沒抽到,第二次將於2022原公司會再抽一次.如果三次沒抽
: : 到就很危險,雖然公司提備案可以L1,或是工作簽證掛在歐洲公司底下...
: : 變數: H1B 2022不知道會不會抽中. 如果抽中即可送出I485不必擔心因為後續combo card
: : 的使用invalid F1 STEM OPT.
: : STEM-OPT expiration date: Mid-July, 2023
: : Family wedding date in Taiwan: Mid-Dec, 2022 (希望能在台灣參加得到)
: : 已經找VC評估EB2-NIW,也都通過approve or refund,然後推薦信也都找齊了,推薦人
: : 都簽名完回傳經律師審核通過,目前就等我二月中回美國入境後填最新的I94,然後送出
: : I-140. (只有我一個人主申請人,沒有任何其他申請人)
: : 律師評估說在F1-STEM-OPT情況下,不建議選擇I485,因為如果走了485雖然可以申請Combo
: : Card,但一旦使用Combo去工作(EAD)或是旅行(AP),隨即註銷F1-STEM-OPT,雖然combo在
: : i485 pending有效,但萬一denial,隨即沒有任何合法簽證,馬上得中止工作及出境.
: : Combo card:
: : (之前還是新手的時候不太懂這些術語,所以我附上簡單介紹給後人快速解說)
: : Issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the so-called
: : "combo card" combines an Employment Authorization Document (also known as a
: : work permit or EAD) with Advance Parole permission (allowing you to travel
: : and return to the U.S. without abandoning your green card
: : application-in-progress.)
: : 律師的建議雖然說:
: : If you decide to apply for your green card through IV processing, you can
: : stay in the U.S. during the process and would only have to travel to Taiwan
: : to have medical exam and attend interview after your interview is scheduled.
: : If your IVP application is placed in administrative processing, you could
: : return to the US with a valid nonimmigrant visa during the administrative
: : processing but you would have to return later for your IV stamping if your IV
: : application is approved. This travel can be time-consuming and expensive. For
: : additional information, please carefully review "15_Adjustment of Status
: : I-485 v. Immigrant Visa Processing" provided under the Visa FAQ tab on your
: : account.
: : IVP看起來是雖然我必須回台灣完成相關手續(我本人很願意藉此機會回台探親,公司雖然
: : 不願意但應該可以允許我遠端工作),但我的理解是我依然可以用F1-STEM-OPT在美國繼續
: : 工作且出入境,不知道IVP還有甚麼風險跟缺點我還沒考慮到?
: : 另外律師提到IVP的優點是駐外大使館比較有經驗處理這些事情,等待時間短於I485.
: : 但目前看來I485跟IVP各有優缺點,不知道能不能有請大家給一些意見/關鍵字或是哪些我
: : 還沒注意到的,我該好好思考? (目前應該是速度及風險的取捨下...)
: : I485跟IVP速度來說,請問有推薦的論壇或工具可以讓我查哪一個比較快嗎?
: : 先謝謝大家了! 如果我有甚麼理解錯誤 還請大家直接指正 感謝!
