Hi Rajiv,

I thank you in advance for any replies and answers you may have.

1. My cousin is on B2(valid until May 15) in US and she has an offer from an employer who is willing to sponsor her for H1. Does she need to apply for B2 extension right now in order to keep her status legal due to the cap and then file for H1 through her employer afterwards?

2. If she doesn't apply for extension of B2, and just files for H1 premium processing, will she be in status until her H1 gets approves?

3. If she doesn't apply for extension of B2, and files Regular H1 processing, will she be in status until her H1 gets approves.?

4. Can she start work before October 1st?

I hope to hear from you,
MD.
