Following my last post: what is the faster route to a greencard?

[ElleGee 0]

So, unfortunately, I'm leaning towards abandoning my GC(see my prev post on problematic staying record and being out of the states for 11+ months consecutively). It's simply too risky, and impedes my long-term goal of living in the US w/ a spotless immigration record. Naturally, I'm devastated and wanted to know what would be the faster way of securing a GC for me in the future:

a. As a daughter of an EB-1 professor?(over 21, though unmarried) or

b. Going the H1B route after I finish my BA in 2 years? Can you really get an h1b sponsoring job straight out of BA? or

c. Through my US citizen brother(not yet 18)?

Any help is appreciated!

I cannot comment on other options - but route b is faster (around 6 - 12 months or so) if your country of birth is NOT India or China AND you can qualify for a EB 2 category - Which needs that the job requires a Master's degree at minimum or needs 5+ years of experience after Bachelor's degree at a minimum.

Good luck

I know nothing about route a, but b has lots of unknowns (like you need find employer first, in case there are too many applications submitted - win a lottery and so on), key problem with c is your brother needs to be 21 to petition you and then it's going to take ~13 years for you to immigrate and recent immigration reform plan was targeting getting rid of sibling category at all....

So out of the 3, I'd explore a but have no idea how viable option it is...
