Hi,
I am in 3rd year of H1B and have I-140 approved recently with my employer in EB2 category (Priority Date is April 2011). I am currently working for a direct client. However, a previous client of mine has offered full-time position and am in a dilemna as to the right path and following are my concerns.
1) I am yet to attend 1st h1B stamping (as I moved from F1 to H1B) and planning to do so in couple of months. What should be my choice at this point ?, Attempting Visa stamping with Employer-Client (EC) model as a consultant or take up Full Time Employment (FTE) and then attend.
2) If FTE is a better choice, then will it be possible for me to retain the existing priority date and get it ported to the new employer. Please suggest on possibilities.
I would greatly appreciate expert replies to my concerns.
Thanks in advance
