Eligibility for a Startup Company to File Green Card

[jgac 0]

Hello VJ Team,

I have few questions regarding eligibility for a startup company to start Green Card Processing for it's employees.

1) Can they file Green Card with just one employee?

2) What are the hurdles/risk involved while filing Green Card or in this process for a startup?

3) If the company shuts down would the GC process terminate abruptly or would there be any tolerance for the employee to use priority dates until next company files LCA and I-140 and use the previous priority dates?

4) If the company gets acquired would the GC petition still be valid and would it be in the same state? Or does the acquiring company have to go over the process again?

5) Would the GC process be faster since the employer has only one candidate? or would it depend on the applications received at USCIS?

Appreciate your response.

Thanks,

Jalli

The first hurdle would be to hire an attorney to deal with obtaining a work visa for the employee.

Immigration does not work that way.

The employer needs to hire an employment based immigration attorney.

You mean, can't they outsource it to a third party attorney firm?

What we are saying is these are not questions for an online forum. What you describe is appropriate for an immigration attorney to answer. It's beyond the ability of this website to help. The employer needs to hire an immigration attorney.

Have you discussed this with the Company Immigration Lawyer?

If not why not?
