@ImmigrationProf Thank you! There’s no need to call you yet. You perfectly answered my question. Thank you very much!
The H-1B cap has not yet been reached, so you could work right away, particularly if you use the government’s premium processig service (response in 15 days or less). So you would not have to wait until October 1st, at least at this time. I’d suggest you call our office if you need help with the visa (310)384-0200 or if you have questions you can schedule an appointment. Best, The Professor.
If a company sponsors me for a H-1B, and the application gets a YES, when I will be able to work in the US? Right away or I’ll have to wait until October 1st?
cheers mate appreciate it i will go see a travel agent tomorrow for other bits and pieces . i will ask u for some more details when needed . take it easy
Sorry I wasn’t clearer. You will need the employer to apply for the H-2B visa. So first you need a job offer with an employer. That’s the starting point. You can’t get one on your own…
so i obviously need a passport and apply for a H-2B visa then acquire a job i have a high school certificate my drivers licence and about 4 years experience in the field of work i do and also how long do the visa’s last like is it 6 months 1 year ?
You will need an H-2B visa and also a company to sponsor.
Hello: Thanks for watching the video. There are 65,000 visas available. We would need to file on April 1st for work to begin October 1st. You will need to have a US employer sponsor you for the visa. That is the place to start. You will also need to 4 year post high school degree. If you have those things I am delighted to help with the rest.
