I am in a really bad situation.
I applied for my H1b visa in Jul '05 and got a response back in Sept from USCIS asking for additional evidence. My attorney just sent it last week.
USCIS is now saying that it might take 30 - 120 days usually but since its a reply for their question, it will take less than that.
My OPT is expiring on Jan 31st '06 and I have just 60 days grace period after that.
In case I receive a denial for my H1b after 45 days from now and the existing visas (from 20,000 cap) get filled by then and If I want to look for another employer and if he is ready to hire me and sponsor my H1b, will I be having a chance to stay till the next 20,000 cap starts?
When does the next 20,000 cap starts?
Please help me.
Thanks.
