I have also mentioned the fact that I am currently a faculty member at another public university, and unfortunately about to exhaust my allowable years of employment visa. My department is planning to file for my permanent residency which would allow me to continue to be in the US. But it requires my PhD as they are planning to file under EB-2 NIW quota. Without the PhD, I have to leave the US after 10 years of teaching in the US. I begged for one opportunity to complete my PhD but they are not sympathetic.
