Here, you will find detailed answers to many of most common immigration questions. |  |
| 32. | Can I intend to immigrate permanently to the U.S. when on H-1B visa? | | |
| | | Yes, you may apply for Adjustment of Status while on H-1B visa. You may be the beneficiary of an immigrant visa petition, or take other steps toward Lawful Permanent Resident status without affecting H-1B status. This is known as 'dual intent'
in the immigration law. During the time your application for LPR status is pending, you may travel on your H-1B visa rather than obtaining Advance Parole or requesting other advance permission from USCIS to return to the U.S. |
 |
| 33. |
Are there new exemptions to the H-1B cap?
| | | |
| | Yes, in addition to increasing the cap, AC21 exempts H-1B workers who are employed by or have an offer of employment from: | | | |
| | | • | Institutions of higher education |
 | | • | Related or affiliated nonprofit entity |
| | • | Nonprofit or government research organization |
|
| | | | | Note: AC21 also specifies that H-1B worker be counted against the cap if the worker transfers from an
'exempt' employer to an employer that does not have an exemption. |
