    Another Visa Waiver Program question

    It's been several months, so I can't remember details, but I don't think I ever got to explain why I was applying for visa in the first place; I was asked to apply for one at Customs last time I entered US, and this is why I was applying for one. I briefly explained that I work for myself in...

    E visa quota?

    I know that H1B has quota, but does E visa(s) have quota? I've never heard about it, but is it because there isn't any or it's because there are a lot less applicants?

    Is it too late to apply for H1B in, say, August?

    Is it too late to apply for H1B in, say, August? H1B has quota and it gets filled out pretty quickly, so it's ideal to apply for the visa as soon as you can, right? So, it's better to apply for the visa in April instead of May or June? How about August? Is it too late?

    Hiring an attorney in a remote location

    Huh, I never knew that you'd actually end up going to court to get B, E or H. I'm just curious. Suppose that I end up going to court to get one of these visas. How much would it cost me? (I have no plan to pursue something like that, but I just want to have some idea of what it is like ...)

    Hiring an attorney in a remote location

    Would there be any additional cost? For example, some attorneys charge for each email. FedEx costs. Attorneys may charge for fax as well. Costing slightly higher isn't a problem, but if it costs significantly higher, then I would kind of hesitate. When does your attorney need to represent...

    I go back and forth between Japan and US, and I rent my friend's place when I'm in US. I am currently looking into some immigration issue, and I plan to hire an attorney; however, the place I typically stay is located in a small town, so there aren't that many immigration attorneys. I can...

    E-2, E-B1, E-B2 or E-B3

I thought about applying for B1/B2 or H1B, but after I asked about this in a couple of forums, a few people mentioned about possibility of applying for E visa. My understanding was that it...
