sry this is a repost of what i posted at the h1/h3 forum, just wanted to let more ppl to help me at once... i am so sorry but this is kind of urgent... any comments would be greatly appreciated. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi, guys, i am new here, I hope you guys can help me with my urgent questions.

I am on my OPT which i do have a F-1 visa. my employer said he will file my H1b petition on Jan. 1st. and thank god this is from a non profit organization(hospital and filing from university hospital level), so i guess i do have the non-cap advantage...

my fiancee has F-1 visa too, but we are getting married next month so excited. should i ask my employer to apply for us the same time? is it possible to apply for H1b for me, and my wife f1 to h4 change of status the same time without i get approved on h1b? she is going to meaningless school to maintain her status, but if she can be on h4 (not including f2), she can save alot of money and alot lesser pressure.

i don't know how is this work, and how much is the f-1 to h-4 status change costs. also, if i get denied, she will be denied too, but if she gets denied, will i get denied?

u guys know the odds of getting approved on h1b from non profit organization these days? my hospital is a non profit research hospital with 1500+ employees.

thanks alot guys and girls. i wish you the best with your visas!!!!
