All,
I had been to US on J1 visa on June 2003. Returned back to India in Sep 2003 before my J1 visa could expire. But my Visa Stamping says am subjected to 2 yrs HRR.
I will be completing the 2 yrs HRR in coming september 2005. Meanwhile can I go ahead in applying for the H1B visa now get the approval and petition ready. If I have this in place and go for H1B visa stamping after sep 2005 will that be OK.
The issue is I cannot wait till completion of Sep 2005 and then file for H1B by which time the Oct 2005 quota would have got expired.
So I would like to know whether I can file for H1B now,get the approval ready by Sep 2005 and then go for H1B stamping after Sep 2005.
Any inputs on this is highly appreciated.
Regards,
-Shashi
