H-1B or O-1 Visa Expiry During Green Card Pending

If your H-1B or O-1 visa is about to expire while you're waiting for a Green Card, it's important to know what to do.

These visas, like H-1B and O-1, let you stay in the US and apply for a Green Card at the same time.

But you still have to follow all the rules of your visa.

If your visa expires while your Green Card is pending, your application can still be approved, but you need to stay in legal status.

If you don't, you might have problems later, like delays or even being told to leave the US.

For H-1B holders, you must keep working for the company that sponsored you in the job they approved.

For O-1 visa holders, you must stay in the job they approved for you.

Even small changes can cause problems later.

It's important to follow all the rules to avoid issues with your Green Card application.
