In this episode, we have our immigration lawyer, Manjunath Gokare, back on the show. If you remember, we had him on for a special episode on the EITF project after season 1, to discuss student visas, and H1B visas and the effect of layoffs on these visas. We will link the episode for you. This is a part 2 to that episode. In this episode, we discuss the complexities of the H1B visa process, the pathways to obtaining a green card, and the challenges posed by labor certification and layoffs. We also explore the potential of National Interest Waivers as an alternative route for immigration, recent updates from USCIS, and the importance of timely action for H1B visa holders. Finally, we discuss the impact of the upcoming changing government to visa holders in the US. The conversation emphasizes the need for immigration reform and the impact of current policies on skilled workers in the U.S. Takeaways - The H1B visa is valid for a total of six years, with options for extensions based on green card processing. - EB2 is preferred for individuals with advanced degrees seeking employment-based green cards. - Labor certification can take up to a year, complicating the green card process. - Layoffs in a company can significantly impact the labor certification process for employees. - National Interest Waivers allow individuals to bypass labor certification if their work has national importance. - USCIS has made updates to support H1B workers, including potential pathways for entrepreneurship. - Visa stamping has become increasingly difficult, with backlogs and appointment issues. - H1B visa holders should initiate their green card process within the first three years of their visa. - The immigration system needs reform to better accommodate skilled workers and reduce backlogs. - Staying informed through resources like LinkedIn can help navigate the immigration landscape.
