Extending Stay In Usa

Summary

To extend your stay in the USA after OPT, consider a STEM OPT extension, changing your visa status, or finding a new employer for H1B sponsorship. If these options are not viable, explore self-petitioning for a Green Card under EB-1 or EB-2 categories, or family sponsorship if applicable. Consulting an immigration attorney can provide tailored advice and explore other potential avenues. You can find a local immigration attorney through the American Immigration Lawyers Association, the Nevada State Bar Association, or personal recommendations.

these option dosnt help me
Kartik, another option you might consider is applying for an Employment-Based Green Card. This involves your employer sponsoring you for permanent residency. If your current employer is unwilling, you might need to find another employer who can. Have you explored this route yet?
my employer is not applying for my green card
Kartik, I understand your situation. Here are a few options you might consider:
- Self-Petition: If you qualify under the EB-* or EB-* (National Interest Waiver) categories, you can self-petition for a Green Card without an employer sponsor.
- Family Sponsorship: If you have immediate family members who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents, they might be able to sponsor you.

Have you looked into self-petitioning or family sponsorship options?
no these options are not helping me either
