Dear All,
I am a GC holder (approved 7/7/04)and my questions are regarding my fiance. He is a foreign MD who is in the US on a tourist visa and the I-94 expires on 9/19/06. He has had a positive job interview in a pharma company but the results will be known on June 15. Since the visa cap for H-1b will be reached any day now my questions are:
1. All the pending H-1b visa applications.. is it a given that all will be approved or there is a chance that some of them might be rejected and therefore leave some more room for those who are about to apply.
2. If a company sends an h-1b application on my fiance's behalf and by the time his case is reviewed the visa cap is reached, what happens to his tourist visa? Is it revoked? Could he re-enter the USA based on that visa (it is valid until 12/2008)?
3. I am hearing that Senator Cornyn of Texas has introduced the SKIL Bill to increase the visa cap to 115,000. Do you have any information whether the cap limit will be raised since it is probable that the current cap will be reached this June.
We planned to go to Europe on July 1 and have our wedding on July 8 but we will cancel it if that may cause him problems due to the H1b application..
Thank you so much for your help, it is Memorial Day weekend and all the lawyers are gone..
