Hi, my daughter got a job but before the H1b could be filed the quota for 2006 got over - on May 26 2006.
Her OPT expires on May 15 2007. What are her options?
1. Any chances that the quota will open again for this year?
2. She was told that she can apply on April 1 2007 and get premium processing - she will get the approval notice withing 15 days (we are very optimistic!!)and can she continue working, but cannot leave USA till Oct 1 2007. Is this correct? :confused:

Please advise

Thanks
 
1. I don't think that the quota will open again for this year because there will not be any more H1B this year.

2. Yes, she can file April 1, 2007 and she can get Premium Process and also get an approval in 15 days. Since the start date will be October 1, 2007, she cannot stay here after OPT expiration and work. She will need to leave the US and return to start with the H-1B.
