标题[心得] EB-2心得分享
时间Tue Jan 15 12:48:28 2013
很谢谢这个版的资讯,刚拿到绿卡,上来贡献一下我的经验
背景:
因为我的H-1B在今年(2013年)八月底到期,因此公司在2011年的八月就
询问我要不要办绿卡。这里说明一下,我们公司有自己一套申请绿卡的程
序/政策(有一个正式的绿卡申请公文),也有专属的律师事务所来处理所
有的H-1B和绿卡的申请,基本上就是照着程序和政策走,没有什麽商量的
余地。一直很挣扎要不要办绿卡,因为公司的基本政策是经理级以上才能用
EB-2,经理级以下就只能用EB-3。在2011年,当时的想法是,如果真的只能
用EB-3,那就不办,因为不想耗这麽久。後来HR和我打电话给律师後,确认
我可以用EB-2申请,才决定申请绿卡

後记:
基本上整个申请程序,我就是提供资料,偶尔写信给律师事务所问一下情况或是问题,
很少去找公司的HR,只有在申请I-140时想说要用Premium Process,去问HR是否可行,
结果是我只能用Regular不能用Premium,就算是自己想出钱用Premium也不行(公司
政策规定,除非H1-B快到期,不然一律用Regular申请)。但很也感谢公司的HR都能在
都能在最短的时间内把资料准备好,送给律师事务所。整个过程,就PERM的时间最长,
我也不清楚为什麽PERM的前置作业可以弄这麽久,从开始准备PERM到送去DOL花了快
十个月。申请I-485时刚好遇到2012年十月没有名额,幸好十一月开始又回复到
Current,因此事务所赶紧在十一月初送件。感恩节当天回台湾三个星期,十二月入境
时是用H1-B入境,回来後EAD卡就在信箱里了,不过似乎也用不到了。很幸运都没有被
Audit 或是REF,按指纹也很顺利,只能说上天保佑了。
