I'm on H3 Visa for 10 months now. I would like to apply for H1B Visa.

1. Is H3 to H1B Visa transfer possible?

2. If not, Can I apply for H1B Visa for 2007 quota. Is there any restriction on H3 that may prevent me apply for H1B for 2007. My H3 is visa is valid from April'06 to feb'07. So now, will I be able to apply for H1B for 2007 quota? I may have to apply from India as they start taking application only in March.
Please let me know.
 
it will be new H1 for 2008 quota.
Spending 2 full years with H3 will force you to stay out of the US for 6 months.
 
Thanks for your response
I have not stayed for 2 full years. My H3 visa is for 11 months. It is from Apr'06 to Feb'07. With this will be able to apply for H1 for 2007 Quota.

Please let me know.
 
I mean H1B Visa application stamped from Oct-2007.

Since I have stayed for less than 2 years period on H3, Will I be able to process L1 in the same company after my H3 in less than 3 months??
