H1 cap

[mohamed_aly]

What is the diffrence between H1 and H1b-1?

My wife wnats to apply for a visa as a teacher for next school year (starting Sept2004). I was told by a friend she needs H1 (not H1b). Is that true? What's the diffrence?

How does the cap affect her chances to start next Sept.?
If she applies now (apr 04), can she at least start working second term (jan 05)?

Thanks

+++++++++++H-1B1 is a subset of H-1. People use all these interchangeably.

++++++++++++You can apply for an H-1 only six ahead.
