H1B from India

[narayanpatil77]

I am working in the Statistical Analysis (SAS) area for last four years in India. Currently, I am employed in India and never traveled to US. I am a certified SAS base programmer. I have done B.E. in Electronics and Telecom.

Recently a company in US is ready to file my H1B visa in the month of April 2006.
My questions:
1. Can a company in US file H1B Visa for a candidate in India?
2. What are the documents I may need to get my Visa?
3. How should I convince the consulate officer to get the Visa?

Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you…..

--------- Copy of all education degree certificates, copy of all experience letters, copy of passport pages(education evaluation can be done in US by employer)
3. How should I convince the consulate officer to get the Visa?
-------------- once H1 petition from USCIS is approved your employer will send approved petition to you and USCIS also inform the consulate. to grant visa or not grant visa depends on your interview with consulate officer
