Hi,
I recently received my H1B approval through COS valid through 2011. I have not yet gotten my H1B visa stamped on my passport. My passport is valid through July 2009 and I intend to get it renewed in Washington DC this July. My firm (a huge fed contractor) is keen on starting my GC processing. I have a Masters degree from the US and I also have almost 6 years of work experience. I am an Indian citizen. I would like to know the following details:
a) My spouse is on a temporary L1 visa ending in July, 2008. Does he need to be on a valid visa status to be added to my GC processing?
b) Is it ok to apply for a GC without an H1B stamp on my passport?
c) What is the average time for processing?
d) When can I start the process for GC?
