Adjustment from B1B2 visa

[SamuelOlson 0]

Hello, i have come over from India with my family on June 8th.  Myself, my wife and two children 1 and 4 years old.  we are all currently on 10 year tourist visas (however we need to leave after 6 months).  However, i have been offered a job here, and me and my family want to stay here in America indefinitely.  What do we need  to do to make this possible?  are we able to adjust to permanent residency?  or is there another visa that will allow me to work and my family to stay in America that we dont have to return to India?  

 

Thank you for your help!

It's not possible. 

 

You would need to hold an H-1B or an L-1 (or similar) to be able to accept an offer like that. They aren't something you can just obtain in a month or two, although the L-1 would be much more straightforward than the H-1B.

As what @Hypnos stated that is not how it is done. It is fortunate that you have the visitor visa but it isn't that easy to just stay. 

 

You will have to find an employer that will have to sponsor you. You will need to have certain qualifications and the process takes time. In the meantime, you should prepare to return home because if you overstay your visitor visa and become illegal it will be even more difficult (almost impossible) for you to gain permanent residency. 

 

Search the board on how to obtaining work visas in the work visa section of VJ.

 

Good luck to you.

If you already got a job offer, you should talk to your "possible" employer about the work visa, if he agree to sponsor you and apply with you for the work visa, I think you could adjust. You can ask for guidance of a lawyer, they might have more info on that.

Good luck!

I don't see a possibility to get a work visa.

the TO is from India, so is a E2-Visa not avalible  for her. 

The H1B cap was reached in one day and now the visas are in a kind of lottery because of the numbers of applications.

For other work visa categorys she need to work at the same company in India for a year and they need to send her to the USA.

only option for H1B is get a job offer from cap-exempt work places such as universities or non-profit organizations etc then apply premium processing for H1B. Depends on how much time you left but that may be possible.
