本人情況: H1B在學校工作,NIW I-140 和 I-485 filed on July 27, 2007. I-140 approved August 2008. 學校在 April 3, 2009 filed EB1B I-140。 但現在有個公司給我一個不錯的職位。我想去公司工作。 我現在有EAD可以去公司工作,我想讓公司給我再申請一份 EB1B。 可公司的律師回複如下, 我不甚理解。請大師指教:
To summarize our conversation, I would recommend that
we file an H-1B COS/AOS status petition
- He does not know what he was talking about
from Academic H-1B to Cap Counted H-1B for this individual as there are still H-1B numbers available. The reason is,
it appears his I-140 (EB1) Outstanding Researcher and I-485 AOS applications were filed in February 2009 with means he isn't eligible to "Port" the Green Card application until August 2009.

Additionally, the O-1 isn't a good idea given they fact that he has an I-140/I-485 pending and the O-1 Nonimmigrant category isn't suppose to have immigrant intent.

The legal fee for the H-1B is $3500 plus di*****ursements
(filings fees $3320 and copy/courier charges $250).

This person seems not familiar with immigrant issues.
You may work for new employer by H-1b transfer (neither COS or AOS petition), or EAD simply.
Your new employer may file EB1b, regardless your existing I-140s,
