Atypical-interesting case H-1B or GC Posted on: Thu, 23 Mar 2006 18:50:57 +0000


I came to US in June 2000 under J-1 visa. I extended my stay and applied
for B-2, then went to school and got F-1 student visa. In November 2002
I finally got H-1B work visa (for 3 years). All the time I stayed in US
(so visa=status). I left US in November 2005, five days after date on my
I-94 card, and went to my home country. Now after almost 6 months I
realized how much I miss US and I would love to go back.
What would be the best option?
Should I apply for a green card thru employment, or quicker way would be
thru H-1B first?
Is this going to be an issue that I overstayed five days, or I changed
my status multiple times while I was in US?
The company where I used to work is growing, and has the most customers
ever had, so they would sign my papers and hire me back.
If I apply for a new H-1B visa will I be counted toward cap quota
(65,000 visas for this year) or this maybe an extension case because I
am out of US for less than one year?
I now it looks a little bit tricky ;-) But I really want to come back,
live and work in US. Please let me know if you need more info about my
case, so we can blow the confusion.
I am looking forward to hear some opinion about my case.
Thanks
Paul
