Hello, I'm a newbie in this site. It was highly recommended to me by a good friend of mine. I have read through guides & faqs but it seems concentrated more on K1 & K3 or K4 AOS rather than H1B or I wasn't looking hard enough! Here's my situation, I am working for a company under the H1B. I am planning to apply for a green card (employment sponsored) as soon as I know how!

1) How do I apply for an employment sponsored green card?

2) What are the documents that I need & where do I find them?

3) Do I need a lawyer to file for this? I have read in other forums that a lawyer isn't really necessary & having one wouldn't make the process faster for anybody. Is this true? That would save a LOT of money if it can be done!

Thank you so much for your time & I really appreciate whatever information you guys could give me. Or please point me to another site if this site is for K1, K3, or K4 visas only! I really do need help! Thanks again!

Unfortunately, as noted in the top page of JV (http://visajourney.com), this site is "for family and marriage based immigration ... for a spouse, fiance, parent(s) or other close relatives". Following is all I can answer.

1) How do I apply for an employment sponsored green card?

Below is the relevant page from USCIS.

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/men...00045f3d6a1RCRD

2) What are the documents that I need & where do I find them?

I do not know where to find ETA-750. Form I-140 and Form I-485 can be found in USCIS's website .

As far as I know, Trackitt (http://www.trackitt.com/usa-immigration-tr...ployment-based/) and immigrate2us.net (http://immigrate2us.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=21) has forums for employment-based visa. Good luck.

My ex gf worked in the IT sector and her company sponsored her green card; there was a laywer there, and they guided her thru the whole process; but as far as I remember, it was the employer who facilitated this process once my ex gf requested she wanted the green card; also, the lawyer there gave her all the info and I remember reading thru the packet and she needed to wait so many years (i think it was 5) before she could apply for the green card...but it was up to her to go to the lawyer of the company and say, I'm ready to apply now that my time is coming, blah blah blah....The lawyer didn't come to her, even though he worked with her for h1b renewals, etc.

If you're working for a company that is sponsoring your h1b, then I'm sure you must have been in contact with a lawyer that the company provided for your for your paperwork..anyway, here is a link with a similar question to yours:

The Employer applies, not you. Speak to your HR.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
