I have been researching for applying for GC through EB-3 visa category. I have a unique series of questions if anyone has gone through that scenario. Any help will be appreciated.
Background:
I have a bachelor degree from U.S.
My initial OPT started from June 2014 and ended June 2015.
17-month extension started from June 2015 and ended November 2016.
In TPS Status currently (Had TPS as well as OPT previously)
I was working for a consulting company from June 2014 till March 2015 (Company was about to be sold to vendor company but the deal didn't go through).
My consulting company was shut down.
I started working for Vendor company directly from April 2015 until June 2015. (same client)
I was unemployed from July 2015 until December 2015.(6 months)
I started working from Jan 2016 and currently working for a new consulting company. My new consulting company is ready to sponsor me for GC and asked me to gather Experience Letters from the previous employer.
Questions:
There are three categories under EB-3 visa. Which one applies to my condition? out of the two:
1.) Skilled Workers
2.) Professionals
a.) If I applied through a Professional category. How many years of experience do I need to show?
b.) I have a gap of employment for 6 months. How will that affect my application?
c.) My previous consulting company is closed. Can my vendor company give me a letter stating I was sub-contracting with them through my previous consulting company mentioning my job duties from June 2014 till march 2015?
d.) My vendor company is ready to give me experience letter for 3 months, From April 2015 till June 2015 as well.
My total experience will be little over two years if I get that letter from vendor company.
How complicated will be my application if I apply for PERM process? Does anyone have any suggestions for preparing documents for this condition?
I know I will have to talk to a lawyer for all the details but just trying to get as much as from people who has been through this situation.
Any response will be appreciated.
