Dear Forum Gurus,

I asking this question on behalf of my another friend ZZ.

ZZ is in USA on B1 ( Business Visa). Had Applied for a B1 Xtension and was rejected and
he flew to Home country within the grace period(10 Day I guess) and came back to USA (currently in USA)
on the same B1-Visa.
Having said that

1.Can He apply for B1 Xtension again? What are his Possibilities of approval? other Options?

2. Can he Apply for a new H1-B Visa? while staying here? what are the chances for its approval?

3.If applied H1-B is Approved , Can he switch Status , within USA or need to go out of country for status Change?


Thanks a lot

100% chance if employee and employers redential meets INS requirement to issus H1B. However this Y 2005 quota is over, you have to wait until APril 2005 to file H1B for Y2006 quota. H1 start from Oct 1, 2005.
3.If applied H1-B is Approved , Can he switch Status , within USA or need to go out of country for status Change?
YES

Thanks a lot
