Meaningful case update

I recently found a path forward for a foreign worker whose 6-year H-1B limit was about to expire.



H-1B workers only get 6 years in the U.S., and without a green card process in motion, options are extremely limited.



Because we had already started his permanent resident process, I was able to move forward with the next application at just the right time.



This created a pathway for him to:



- Extend his H-1B status beyond the 6-year limit


- Maintain legal status in the U.S.


- Have the flexibility to work with new employers in the future



The strategy worked.



Our expedited filing was approved.



"This approval is such a crucial milestone for me," he wrote afterward. "I'm deeply grateful for your help in making it happen."



The employer's response was even more poignant: "Great news. Good things happen to good people."



What I love about immigration law is finding these creative pathways when the standard routes close.



It's about seeing possibilities where others might see dead ends.
