You can ask your prospective employer to prepare to file for the H-1B status on your behalf in April 2021. The prospective employer will need to register with USCIS on or after March 3, 2021 in order to be eligible to file the FORM I-129H.

My H1b is valid till 2022. I lost my job few months ago and my 60 days grace period is over.
My spouse is on H1b so i applied for Change of Status to H4 and a H4 EAD.
But since I have an H1B, Can I still interview for jobs and ask the company to apply for a H1B transfer and... Read more »
Just because your H1B has a 2022 expiration date, that does not mean it is still valid. Such visas are tied to a specific employer.
Having said that, you can apply for jobs, but you cannot start working lawfully until you have an approved EAD.
First, this question does not have anything to do with Immigration law or Child custody. It is a personal injury question. Next, contingent fee agreements of this type are not set by law. The amount you are charged will depend on a number of factors which could include, the probability of... Read more »

Hi, I would need a bit more information to answer your question. You indicated that you became a legal permanent resident of the U.S. shortly after two months old.

I applied to remove the conditions of my temporary green card early December 2018. (K1 visa in 2016 followed by AOS, both very fast)

My sister, who was 18 at the time my mom was being naturalized, got her citizenship through my mom. I wasn't able to because I couldn't get in touch with my separated dad as I was a minor and needed permission from both parents. Now that I'm 18 (I'm a permanent resident), do I... Read more »
You can only file N-600 BEFORE you turn 18. Now that you are 18 you will have to file form N-400/Naturalization based on your permanent residency. USCIS has a very nice guide re: applying for naturalization. BUT I recommend you do a consultation with an experienced Naturalization attorney to make... Read more »

In essence, your question is can my spouse work while her adjustment of status application, Form I-485, is in process?
Form I-485 is an application that must be filed to register a foreign national’s permanent residence or adjustment of status. As part of the adjustment of status process,... Read more »
Your question does not make any sense. Please re-post the question again.
Yes. An LPR or a USC does not require employment authorization to obtain a SSC.
A person may receive a TIN without filing an I-765 if all other requirements are met.
My tenant, still married to deported man, says she can help him to reenter U.S. She's not OK with this. Wouldn't it solely be up to courts? They have 2 children, young teens, his parents are Guardians, last week they took kids to him in Mexico & left them there, he may use them like... Read more »
