Hello.
I am relatively new on the forum, so I apologize, if this question came up somewhere, I coundn't find the answer. I am on my 2nd H1B, which expires at the end of Sep. 2010. However my U.S. employer began U.S. LPR process on my behalf some time ago and by that time I will be eligible for extension beyond 6 years - and I was assured that it will be obtained. However after reviewing current requirements and finding out that I am fully eligible, I decided to pursue Provincial Nomination (through AB) process, and then Canada PR through CIC.
Facing current processing times, I am not sure, if I will receive my nomination within the remainder of my current H1B validity (probably not). However if I will be in the possession of my new approved I-797, will it be possible to submit it to them without jeopardizing my application? Did you guys have such a situation and what would you advise? I am aware that the decision can be made some time close to my current H1B expiration date. My application for extension probably will be filed shortly before current H1B expires so I may not be in possession of appoved I-797 right away at Oct 1st, 2010. Will be greatly appreciated if some of you will share some of your experiences with me.
