Work Permits Will Soon Be Available to H-4 Dependent Spouses of H-1B Nonimmigrants Seeking Employment-Based Greencards

February 28, 2015/0 Comments/in H1B Visas /by admin

On May 26, 2015, USCIS will begin accepting applications for employment authorization (work permits) from H-4 Dependent Spouses of H-1B Nonimmigrants seeking employment-based Lawful Permanent Residence (“Greencards”).

To be eligible for your work permit under this change, you must be a H-4 dependent spouse of H-1B nonimmigrants who:

  • Are the principal beneficiaries of an approved Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker; or
  • Have been granted H-1B status under sections 106(a) and (b) of the American Competitiveness in the Twenty-first Century Act of 2000 as amended by the 21st Century Department of Justice Appropriations Authorization Act. The Act permits H-1B nonimmigrants seeking lawful permanent residence to work and remain in the United States beyond the six-year limit on their H-1B status.

This new rule will help many doctors who have spouses on H4 visas but have not been able to work. We applaud the Obama administration for implementing this progressive legislation!

If you believe you may be eligible for a work permit under this change please contact our Sacramento, San Francisco or Santa Clara offices today at (916) 613-3553. We can advise you and prepare your application so that it is filed on May 26, 2015 (the first day USCIS will begin accepting applications).

Once USCIS approves your application and you receive your employment authorization document (work permit card), you may begin working in the United States!

J1 Conrad 30 Waiver California Slots filled for 2014-2015

February 28, 2015/0 Comments/in Conrad 30 /by admin

This past week I have been getting a few calls asking about whether California still had slots available for the Conrad 30 program.

Although California is not like other states such as Texas, that typically fill their slots on the first day slots become available, California filled all of their slots for the J1 Waiver Conrad 30 Program for the October 1, 2014 – September 30, 2015 fiscal year on February 26, 2015.

Since I am an optimist, I will put a positive spin on this.  The good news is now is the perfect time to plan for the next application cycle ( on October 1, 2015  you can apply for a Conrad 30 waiver in California).  If you are a physician you should start looking for a job now.  If you are an employer you should start the interview process.

Call our office at 916-613-3553 if you have further questions or to get a copy of my free book on the J1 Waiver process.
