The years 2020 and 2021 have been golden years for H-1B employees. Most H-1B employees could work remotely, and the visa bulletin priority dates moved to 1st January 2015 for the EB2 India category.
Covid resulted in most US embassies being shut down for a long time. As a result, most family-based green cards could not be issued and were rolled over to the employment-based quota. This resulted in a windfall of green cards for employment-based categories.
However, in 2022, most US embassies have started issuing family-based green cards, and a minimal number of family-based green cards may be rolled over to employment-based green cards after September 2022.
Priority dates may not move beyond the year 2015 for a long time. Therefore, it is better to explore the EB5 Investment Green Card Category. Most H-1B employees already have three hundred to five hundred thousand equity in their houses. A second IT remote project can supplement the savings required to reach the eight hundred thousand needed for the EB5 program.
An IT consultant can do two or three projects depending on how well they manage their daily schedule. In 2012 it wasn't easy to earn $120,000 per annum in IT consulting. A quarter-million dollars annual salary is very average in IT consulting in 2022.
When the IT job market is booming, it is not good move to be stuck in a hundred and twenty thousand full-time job. The money is in IT Consulting and not in full-time IT jobs. A full-time H-1B employee can do a second IT consulting remote project through concurrent H-1B.
