Hi, saw your page. My employer said they'd sponsor me but my status runs out in November. Anyone there?
Hi David — yes, I'm here. You're in the right place, employment-based visas are a big part of what this firm does. I'm the intake coordinator: I take the details tonight, the attorney gives you the answers. What's your current status?
H-1B, expires Nov 14. Am I going to be out of status? Can they even file in time?
Timing is the first thing he'll go through with you on the call — and he'll answer it for your situation specifically, not in general terms. So he can do that properly: has your employer filed anything yet, or is this the first step?
Nothing filed. They're waiting on me to find a lawyer.
Understood. And is your employer covering the legal fees, or are you?
They said they'd cover it. What do you guys charge?
The consultation is free. The attorney quotes the work itself on that call, once he's seen your details — no surprises. I have Monday 9:00 AM or Monday 4:00 PM open. Which suits you?
Monday 9. Honestly I messaged two other firms tonight, you're the only one that answered.
Understood — and have you signed anything with either of them yet?
No, nothing signed.
Good, that keeps it straightforward. Monday 9:00 AM then — you'll get a confirmation on this number in a moment, plus a reminder Sunday evening. If you can, have your I-797 and passport details handy for the call; it saves you time. Anything else before I let you sleep?
