Novice question

Hi,

A friend of mine has got an offer from an employer and is ready to file for H1B. The employer has a lawyer. The question is.

1) How early does he need to file to make sure he makes to this years H1B quota?

2) Is it necessary to get an education evaluation done because he does not have a Bachelors. He has 14 years of education (Double diploma) and 8 years experience. So he will meet the Bachelors equivalent requirement. If educational evaluation helps, what agency should he go to get it done?

3) Does anyone have a list of documents to be submitted to USCIS for h1 application?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

The first day that it is possible to file. There is speculation that USCIS may get 20,000 visa petitions in one day.

2) Is it necessary to get an education evaluation done because he does not have a Bachelors. He has 14 years of education (Double diploma) and 8 years experience. So he will meet the Bachelors equivalent requirement. If educational evaluation helps, what agency should he go to get it done?

I think it is highly likely that USCIS will issue an RFE for the evaluation if it is not sent with the submission.

3) Does anyone have a list of documents to be submitted to USCIS for h1 application?

See www.immihelp.com it provides a half decent list if I remember correctly.
