What to do when H1B visa runs out?
Currently in my 3rd year at a BB on H1B. Will file for an extension this year for 3 years but was wondering how to plan my career with only a few years left in the US.
Hoping for some advice here.

have your employer renew it. or if you want to be permanent resident, apply for national interest waiver or have your employer sponsor you a green card
Is it generally feasible to get an NIW for a finance position? I was under the impression that it was mainly for science-type jobs where you need advanced degrees and/or a high level of expertise.
@ar169 .. quick question.. are h1B renewals cap exempt?
yes. extensions are cap-exempt.
If you know that much, why the fuck are you asking?
You will not get a NIW. Get your employer to file a PERm application and I-140, with an approved Perm you can further extend your H1B. (This is all part of the Green Card process, so it's contingent on your employer sponsoring your GC.)
Don't listen to this idiot. He doesn't know what he's talking about. Even accounting professionals can get NIW if they have relevant experience and bachelor's or master's degree, phd is a plus. I work with a chinese guy at my bank and he's from accounting background, came here for MSF and gained 3-4 years of experience and then applied for NIW which was approved within 1 year. NIW does not require STEM majors or anything like that, that's all BS. Google is your best source, there are people who's petitions were approved with only bachelor degrees! NIW requires occupations that are in US interest, and finance requires solid technical skills(not just any tom dick and harry can model) and it is eligible provided to you have some relevant professional experience. So yeah blow me captain
Easy there, son. I was basing my response off of the experiences of a few co- workers (Chinese, PHDs, worked in quant roles) that I used to work with, who had their NIW applications rejected.
The GC route seems safer than relying on NIW, it's what I think I would do. I could be totally wrong though..
You are either lying or deliberately spreading false information. PHDs getting rejected? Really? Maybe their applications were not strong enough? Shit there are people with foreign bachelors that got the NIW approval. http://www.usavisanow.com/national-interest-waiver/
I lost a few thousand Dollars on NIW dreams - lawyers tend to lure you into believing you will get approved, charge you legal fees with no assurance of approval. Yes PhD's can get rejected too (not all PhD's are stellar). That being said, I believe PhD's have a shorter route to the traditional green card path through employment anyway.
Or maybe you ARE captain. Sorry, can't trust a chimp. Too many fake accounts out there
Well, there's only one way to find out for sure right?
Not lying, man. They probably just got unlucky, i don't know? OP should definitely look into the NIW application then..
I urgently need to get a work visa, which company is better to contact?
