H1b visa extension

[rens48 0]

Hi guys,

I applied petition for my husband for AOS, last April 28, 2011, wondering if we still have to apply for H1b visa extension since his visa will expire on June 30, 2011, do we have enough time for this process? or we have to apply now for extension? and if yes , what is the requirements?

We really appreciate your input.

Does he want to continue working.

Does he want to continue working.

YES he is.

Then he will need to be work authorised one way or the other.

YES he is.

His AOS is not complete so until then he would need his H1 to work.

He will be OK to continue in his current position once he has the EAD, which you seem to have applied for (I-765). Your window from the AOS application to the end of his current work authorisation is a bit short (two months): you should expect the EAD within 90 days, but maybe not within 60 (mine took 78).

Perhaps look into the possibility of a biometrics "walk in". When your husband gets his biometrics appointment letter, there will be a date and time on it when he has to attend. But it seems like some offices allow people to turn up and do it without an appointment. This gets the biometrics into the system sooner. The EAD depends on the biometrics being completed, so doing this could speed up the process for you.
