Hi Peter, Thank you for doing this!

What is your recommendation for a Canadian H1B holder who wants to stay in the US Permanently, but employer will not sponsor/petition a i-140? (Commenting on other nationalities would probably help other readers too).

Either change to an employer that will sponsor you or look at self-sponsorship options - that is, NIW or EB1A.

Maybe transfer your H1-B to a new employer that will sponsor you?

I appreciate the sentiment, I would really like for it to not come to that, if at all possible.
