is H1B visa thesame as the permanent residency stuff?


pls which nairaland is in california ere.... smiley

Two different things. H1B is an ordinary visa, 1 level above other non immigrant visas while permanent residency is residence status that confirms you as an immigrant legally permitted to live as long as possible in US provided that you dont violate any rules. Both are renewable but PR after few years is convertible to citizenship while H1B will first have to file and apply for PR.

Imagine you spent your resources on me your employee to get the H1B/PR. Few months after, I got a better paid job. Do you think I will continue working with you or I move to the better job?

Very true.
Now, it seems there's a clause.
If a company files for you and you don't stick with them and change jobs before they complete the green card paper work which can take 5 years, if you leave the job, the h1b application will be void even if you've worked 4.5years / 5.

Once you leave the job, the new company has to restart the process.

Yea, there is always that clause even when I was still in school but it's a loss for an organization to train you, invest in you only for you to tell them you got a better offer after few years. All because you're stable in US.

Yes it is fairly expensive as they use immigration lawyers etc, but another reason companies are reluctant to file for H1 visa aside the cost is it is very hard to get due to demand outstripping the number of visas available each year.

There is a quota of 65k + 20k for those with advanced US degrees, and for the few years there have been over 150k applications within a few days of opening. Companies are reluctant to spend money on lawyers etc when it balls down to a lottery.

It's always a game of luck for them. Also it's expensive. H1B is a work visa, you can enter back US once it's still valid but you dont get immigrant benefits like the residence status.

You must not enroll (register) in class while you're still waiting to change your status. The chance of being regetted by uscis is 1. And to save yourself from worries, you will have to come back to Nigeria to change your status.

When it comes to responding back to WES email on verifications, Unilag is very fast. Unilag does that within 2hrs Max, and your profile on WES portal change immediately
Pls do schools ask for this evaluation bfor admission or after admission has been given cause I would like to apply to schools with a wes evaluated transcript if it's possible since this seems to increase ones GPA.

I dont know yet. They just sent me a mail that I have been offered admission but said my financial statement has been sent to sevis for approval for I.20 document. I have not gotten the complete package of my admission though in the application they asked to tick if you want to be considered for GA.

firstly, I am not a sir , I am a lady and concerning the wes evaluation, I already applied to Minot state university since december last year self before I did my evaluation , coz transcript evaluation is part of their admission requirement.
it is a two way thing, it is better you look for schools that you like and check their requirement to see if transcript evaluation is part of their requirement because not all schools require transcript evaluation. and remember that schools that require transcript evaluation will not give you admission until they receive your evaluated transcript.
Meanwhile some schools just require you to send your transcript directly from the awarding institution, in such cases there will be no need for transcript evaluation.
So I will advise you to get some schools first and check their requirements coz evaluation fee(over 90k) no be beans ooooooo........

As for evaluation,u don't have to depend on wes. There are other evaluation agencies that evaluate very well and still charge less. Ierf charges barely 46k and they don't have to write back to ur school for any form of verification. Once they get ur transcripts,it takes them 10days to evaluate.
