Hi Friends,
I have a brother who completed his Masters in computer science and has an Australian PR (Permanent Resident) Status. He holds Indian passport and is planning to apply for H1 in USA. Does he have to do anything different in his case - does he have any advantage in getting a visa etc. or is it complicated in his case.

Also, if he plans to visit usa on a visiting visa from australia, can he convert to work visa after coming here, during the same stay.

Any info will be helpful.

Thank you.
 
I am also an Australian PR. I think it'll be better if he becomes a citizen and apply for E-3 visa, which is specifically meant for Australians, else he will eb considered still as INDIAN for H1B as he has an Indian passport. Similar to H1-B, it has more rights (for example spouse can work) and is more flexible. You'll have to find out details as I am not an expert. ]
cheers
