Now, with extreme demand case, USCIS are mandated by regulation to give everyone 5 days window to file and then run lottery. Hi Guys, I was working with the American technology consulting firm. My employer filed the H1-B visa through the attorney affiliated with the organization. Two weeks back I came to know that my application has been picked in the lottery and I got the EAC number. The issue is my employer fired me for my full-time job last week and they said that they will withdraw the application.
Is there any solution so that I could go ahead with the application and get the H1B? I am in India. I went through many articles on an internet and all says that degree evolution is required. If my case is not picked in a lottery, degree evolution will be a waste of money. My questions is can one file an H1-B without degree evolution done? I am on F1-OPT, currently employed. My company is applying for my H1B petition this year, so if I get rejected, do I get a cap exemption?
What is required for the sponsor of H1B? Does he have to show that the job position is available with a client? Does client letter is required for filing new H1B petition for April? In total First for the Masters cap. Are these Before the the sub Master petitions are added?
In other words sub Master petitions will be skipped completely for the regular cap? So a Master degree obtains outside the US will be placed in the regular cap.
Patrick, 1. Yes, the petitions not selected in Masters cap are added to the total regular cap petitions and lottery is conducted from the combined pool to pick remaining 65k petitions. They will be added to the regular lottery. But do they have the same chance to be picked as the other sub Master petitions. Or do they first pick all the higher educated people first and work their way down?
Please guide me in about it. How would i apply for it. If an employer has a quota , say about for thirty h1b visas , is there any way of his getting entire quota through lottery? What are the chances of big companies getting their entire h1b quotas in a lottery system like this?
No, it cannot be possible. It is just that, if one company files more visas, they have higher chance to get picked in lottery. Does it means that ALL the applications for H1B from this company will be processed or only the one which has allowed the company to be selected…? Both these companies charge around USD for processing H1B Visa and when not picked in lottery or RFE comes up, they refuse to refund even partially the Visa charges they have colleced, leaving the applicants in a lurch.
Thanks to all your website for hosting this review and s of other applicants who have compalint against companies like this. Saurabh, My case is still in received state from past 6 months and mine is a regular h1b processing. Do you know if any of the regular processing cases have moved forward. Will there be a problem if i opt for premium processing now or shall i wait for my next update and then go for it. There are still several petitions pending, and the processing is slow.
So you can either continue to wait or work with your employer to upgrade to PP. Thank you Saurabh. My husband holds H1B visa and is valid till May But the employer is not yet processed to send him to US and is not having any projects.. Is there a way to go there?
