Hi. Thank you for careing about this topic.
I have a big problem for appling changing visa from B2 to H1B. I went
to USA on Feb 2006 and get 6 months staying, so my B2 visa will expire
on Augest,2006. Because I have a good experience in mainframe system,
recently some company contacted me to give me a offer with sponsoring
me a H1B. But you know, Cap of 2007 will be available only after Oct.
2006, there are 2 months between Aug and Oct, How can I maintain my
status between them?... I have thought several ways, but all of them
have some problems:
1) petition for H1B now.
question: if I successed, which status am I between Aug and Oct?
B2/H1B ?
If B2, How can I maintain legal status between Aug
and Oct.
If I can not maintain it, What should I do?
2)go back to my home country and back USA again, get another 6 months
and then petition for H1B.
question: I'm afraid I'll be rejected when I'm entering the entry of
USA.
3)changing my visa from B2 to F1 first, and then changing F1 to H1B.
question: you know, Cap of 2006 have reached on Aug. 2005, it's
seems likely that Cap of 2007 will be reached on Aug.2006. I have not
enough time to change visa twice between now and Aug.
Thanks for your viewing all the information and Help.
