I was just recently laid off however discovered another position at a growing biotech business. My new company simply sent the H-1B petition prior to completion of my grace period. I wish to remain permanently in the United States. The length of time do I have to make an application for a permit?
If my company isn’t going to sponsor me, I heard I can self-petition for an EB-1A or EB-2 NIW permit?
