Hi Peter - My fiance currently works for a large tech company in the bay area, and is on a H1B visa currently. They would like to apply for their green card, but have been told by the HR that everything is on "pause", but they will continue to collect information in preparing the green card application. How true is this, and do we have any other options? To answer, no we do not plan to marry, though I know this can expedite things. Thanks.

I'm also going from H1-B -> Green Card. The first chunk of the process is with the Department of Labor and so they should be able to get started on that
