H-1B 工作签证与 PERMH-1B work visas and PERM
工作机会来了，身份怎么接上？A job opportunity. A clear immigration plan.
H-1B 中签、换工作、被裁员，或雇主准备支持绿卡？我们把当前工作许可和长期绿卡计划一起看，先弄清眼前期限，再安排下一步。Selected for H-1B, changing jobs, facing a layoff, or discussing a green card with your employer? Review immediate work authorization and the longer-term plan together.
先看与你有关的重点Start with what matters for your case
H-1B：先看岗位与期限H-1B: role and timing
核对雇主、岗位要求、工作地点、工资和现有身份。中签只是可以递交申请的一步，获批和开始工作的条件还要另外确认。Review the employer, role, worksite, wage, and current status. Selection allows a petition to be filed; approval and the right to start work require separate checks.
PERM：先把职位准备好PERM: start with the position
雇主通常先确定长期岗位、工资要求和招聘安排，再进入劳工证及后续移民申请。每一步的材料、费用责任和时间需要提前协调。The employer generally defines the permanent position, wage requirements, and recruitment before labor certification and later immigration filings. Coordinate evidence, fee responsibilities, and timing early.
没中签或工作有变化Non-selection or a job change
先核对 I-94、工卡和停止工作的日期，再评估转雇主、免配额 H-1B、O-1、合适的交流项目或其他办法。每种办法都有独立条件。Check the I-94, EAD, and employment end date, then assess a new employer, cap-exempt H-1B, O-1, an eligible exchange program, or other options. Each has its own requirements.

H-1B 批次案例H-1B filing group一组七份 H-1B 申请全部获批Seven H-1B filings in one group approved
当时的情况The situation
这组申请包括三份 F-1／OPT 转 H-1B，以及四份延期类申请，其中涉及换雇主。The group included three F-1/OPT-to-H-1B changes and four extension filings, including employer changes.
准备重点Preparation focus
我们会分别核对转换身份、延期和换雇主的条件，把岗位、工资、当前工作许可和生效日期对齐。We check the conditions for change of status, extension, and employer change separately and align the role, wage, existing work permission, and effective dates.
结果与提醒Result and context
七份申请全部获批。这里是一组历史申请的结果，不是对所有 H-1B 申请的批准率承诺。All seven were approved. This is the outcome of one historical group, rather than an overall approval-rate promise.
H-1B 获批H-1B approved生物科技岗位与学历背景相匹配Biotech role matched to academic training
当时的情况The situation
受益人持公共卫生硕士及分子与细胞生物学本科学历，拟在生物科技公司从事与基因编辑、RNA 研究及跨部门支持相关的工作。The beneficiary held a public health master’s and a molecular and cellular biology bachelor’s, for a biotech role involving gene editing, RNA research, and cross-team support.
准备重点Preparation focus
这类岗位要把每天做什么、需要哪些专业知识，以及学历和岗位的联系讲清楚，并准备相应证据。For a role like this, explain the actual duties, required specialized knowledge, and connection to the qualifications, supported by evidence.
结果与提醒Result and context
2024 年，该 H-1B 申请获批。岗位名称相似，也需要逐案核对实际职责。The H-1B was approved in 2024. Similar job titles still require individual review of the actual duties.
法律行业 H-1BLegal-sector H-1B海外法学本科加美国 LL.M.，H-1B 获批Overseas law degree and U.S. LL.M.: H-1B approved
当时的情况The situation
受益人持海外法学本科学位和美国 LL.M.，由波士顿律所为助理律师岗位申请 H-1B。A Boston law firm sponsored an associate attorney role for a beneficiary with an overseas law bachelor’s and a U.S. LL.M.
准备重点Preparation focus
这类申请要核对岗位的专业要求、学历和执业资格，并说明受益人如何胜任实际工作。Review the role’s specialized requirements, academic and licensing qualifications, and how the beneficiary meets the actual duties.
结果与提醒Result and context
本案未收到补件，H-1B 直接获批。The H-1B was approved without a request for evidence.
本所办理经验Firm experience从首次申请到换雇主、延期与补件Initial filings, employer changes, extensions, and RFEs
当时的情况The situation
本所办理的 H-1B 涵盖初次申请、转雇主、延期、同时为多个雇主工作，以及工作内容或地点变化后的申请。Our H-1B work covers initial petitions, employer changes, extensions, concurrent employment, and filings following changes in duties or worksites.
我们怎样处理How we helped
先区分需要哪一种申请，再核对岗位、雇主支持、身份期限和工作开始时间；有补件时，围绕通知提出的问题补充证据。We identify the correct filing, review the role, sponsorship, status deadlines, and work start date, and address the stated issues when an RFE arrives.
结果与提醒Result and context
我们也有回复补件、上诉后获批的办理经验。具体下一步须结合通知和个人记录判断。Our experience also includes approvals after RFE responses and appeals. The next step depends on the notice and individual record.
I-140 补件I-140 RFE公司账面亏损，I-140 支付能力补件后获批I-140 approved after an ability-to-pay RFE
当时的情况The situation
美国子公司经历收购，部分财务报表显示亏损。PERM 获批后，移民局要求进一步证明雇主有能力支付所承诺工资。A U.S. subsidiary underwent an acquisition and some financial statements showed losses. After PERM approval, USCIS requested more evidence of the employer’s ability to pay the offered wage.
我们怎样处理How we helped
我们结合实际发薪、经营流水、客户付款、税款记录，以及母公司的支持和财力，回应补件中的疑问。We addressed the RFE with actual wage payments, operating records, customer payments, tax records, and evidence of the parent company’s support and finances.
结果与提醒Result and context
2026 年夏季，I-140 获批。后续绿卡仍需另看排期和 I-485 或领事程序条件。The I-140 was approved in summer 2026. Residence still requires separate visa-availability and adjustment or consular review.
PERM 至绿卡PERM to residence从 F-1／OPT 开始规划 EB-3 绿卡EB-3 planning began during F-1 / OPT
当时的情况The situation
申请人在 F-1／OPT 阶段开始雇主支持的 EB-3 申请，经历工资要求、招聘、PERM、I-140 和后续 I-485。The applicant began an employer-sponsored EB-3 route during F-1/OPT, progressing through wage review, recruitment, PERM, I-140, and I-485.
准备重点Preparation focus
这类申请我们会把雇主招聘与移民步骤、申请人现有身份和排期一起规划；启动绿卡流程不等于已经取得工作许可。We plan recruitment and immigration steps alongside current status and visa availability. Starting the green card process does not itself grant work permission.
结果与提醒Result and context
2024 年取得绿卡，个案未收到补件，也未被要求面试。约四年是本案历史用时。Residence was approved in 2024 without an RFE or interview. The roughly four-year duration belongs to this historical case.
EB-3 历史个案Historical EB-3 casePERM 后等待排期，再完成 I-485PERM, the visa wait, and completion of I-485
当时的情况The situation
2015 年底开始准备，2016 年递交 PERM，2019 年排期到后递交 I-485；原定面试遇到疫情取消。Preparation began in late 2015, PERM was filed in 2016, and I-485 followed when the date became current in 2019. The scheduled interview was canceled during the pandemic.
我们怎样处理How we helped
案件随后补交体检材料，并通过 Service Request 跟进审理。Medical evidence was supplied, and a service request was used to follow up on the pending case.
结果与提醒Result and context
2020 年直接获发绿卡。这是当时的办理经历；当前体检随表递交要求应另行核对。The green card was issued in 2020 without an interview. Current requirements for submitting medical evidence must be checked separately.
H-1B → F-1H-1B → F-1有 I-140 申请经历，H-1B 转 F-1 获批H-1B to F-1 approved after an I-140 filing
当时的情况The situation
申请人原持 H-1B，已经办理职业移民 I-140，后来决定回校攻读学位。The applicant held H-1B status and had pursued an employment-based I-140 before deciding to return for a degree.
我们怎样处理How we helped
我们介绍学校、课程和培养目标，准备个人陈述，说明工作后继续学习的原因、职业计划和本次暂时停留的目的。We documented the school, curriculum, and program goals and prepared a statement explaining the return to study, career plan, and temporary purpose of this stay.
结果与提醒Result and context
递交后约一个月，F-1 境内转换身份获批。并非已经持绿卡再转 F-1，也不等于取得新签证。The F-1 change of status was approved in about a month. The applicant was not already a permanent resident, and this was not a new visa issuance.

查看更多律所视频 ↗More videos from the firm ↗你可能还想问Questions you may have
H-1B 中签以后，就能开始工作吗？May I start work after H-1B selection?
还不能只看中签结果。雇主需要按规定递交申请，还要确认是境内转换身份还是领事办理、何时生效，以及此前的工作许可是否仍有效。Cap-Gap 也有具体条件，不能假定每个 OPT 申请人都自动适用。Selection alone is not enough. The employer must file the petition, and you must confirm change-of-status versus consular processing, the effective date, and existing work authorization. Cap-gap relief has specific requirements and is not automatic for every OPT holder.
没抽中，CPT、J-1 或 O-1 都能接上吗？Can CPT, J-1, or O-1 fill any gap?
需要逐项看资格。CPT 必须是符合规定、获得授权的课程实习；J-1 必须符合真实交流项目及类别要求；O-1 要有相应成就证据和申请人安排。提交 NIW／EB-1 的 I-140，本身也不会带来工作许可。Each requires an eligibility review. CPT must be authorized curricular training, J-1 must fit a genuine exchange program and category, and O-1 requires achievement evidence and a proper petitioner arrangement. Filing an NIW or EB-1 I-140 alone does not grant work authorization.
工资高，就能算出 H-1B 中签概率吗？Can my wage tell me my selection probability?
不能只凭工资作个人概率预测。注册规则、适用财年和岗位信息都需要按当时的 USCIS 官方说明核对。工资标准还涉及职业分类、工作地点和岗位要求；它不仅是抽签问题，也关系到申请合规。Wage alone cannot establish an individual selection probability. Check the registration rules, fiscal year, and role against the USCIS guidance that applies. Wage requirements also involve occupation, location, and job duties; compliance matters beyond selection.
什么时候适合让雇主开始 PERM？When should an employer start PERM?
可以在尚未取得 H-1B 时讨论，并不一定要等中签。要先看雇主是否有真实长期岗位、愿意承担相应责任，以及你的学历和经历是否符合要求。PERM 审理期间，现有身份和工作许可仍要另外保持。The discussion can begin before H-1B approval. Review whether there is a genuine permanent job, employer willingness to meet its obligations, and a match between your qualifications and the position. Existing status and work authorization need separate attention while PERM is pending.
开始 PERM 后，H-1B 就能无限延期吗？Does starting PERM allow unlimited H-1B extensions?
不是。超过通常期限的 H-1B 延期有特定条件，例如有关申请已等待的时间，或 I-140 批准后因排期无法取得名额等。只启动招聘或递交 PERM，不代表已经符合延期条件，应倒推时间安排。No. Extensions beyond the usual limit require specific conditions, such as qualifying filing age or an approved I-140 with visa unavailability. Starting recruitment or filing PERM does not by itself establish eligibility. Work backward from the relevant deadlines.
初创公司可以申请 H-1B 或 O-1 吗？Can a startup sponsor H-1B or O-1?
可能可以，但两类要求不同。H-1B 要看专业岗位、真实工作和工资等条件；O-1 还要看个人成就、申请人结构和拟开展工作。没有营收不一定直接排除，但资金、业务和工作安排需要有证据。Potentially, but the requirements differ. H-1B involves the specialty role, genuine work, and wages. O-1 also requires achievement evidence, an eligible petitioner, and planned work. Lack of revenue is not always disqualifying, but funding, operations, and work arrangements need evidence.
被裁员后，第一步做什么？What should I do first after a layoff?
保存离职通知、工资记录、I-94 和批准通知，尽快确认停止工作日期、可能适用的宽限期及家属身份。转换身份通常不会自动允许继续工作，离境也可能影响正在办理的申请，先核对再行动。Keep the termination notice, pay records, I-94, and approval notices. Promptly confirm the employment end date, any applicable grace period, and dependent status. A status-change filing generally does not itself authorize work, and departure may affect pending filings.
