Hey,

I have BS/MS/PhD (Physics/EE/EE) degrees from the US and I am currently working at a major tech company in the US. I still have 5 years left on my H-1b.

I am thinking of applying for a green card. Is there any benefit to having my bother (a green card holder) sponsor me? (I doubt my company will help with the green card application as I still have so much time left on my H-1b.)

Thanks.

Given your credentials, you could apply for a green card yourself based on what is called a national interest waiver.

Thanks guys.

I'll ask my boss later this year to see if the company could sponsor me (he offered this to me when I was hired but I told him that there is no immediate rush).
