Experience requirement for H4 to new H1 visa

[impdocs]

Hi,

Thanks for your time looking at my query.

My wife came to US on H4 visa in Dec-2008. Prior to that she was working with an MNC at Bangalore and has 1.5 years of experience. She completed her B.Tech in Electrical and Electronics Engineering in April 2007.

I am planning to apply for H1 visa for her in the April - 2009 quota. My current vendor at my client location agreed to file a new H1 visa for her.

1. Is 1.5 years of experience enough to get the H1 approved ?

2. She was working part time in software development for her Brother's Resort while she was doing her engineering. Can I include that experience in to her total experience? He can give her experience letter for the same.

3. If her H1 gets approved, will she move automatically to COS?

4. Is there a way to avoid automatic COS, so that she can take up the H1 status only after she finds out a project.

5. Many employers are not ready to apply for a new H1 this year. Do you guys think we should be prepared with some special queries, when we apply this year?

6. This vendor has direct client. So I am assuming that he can produce client letter if USCIS asks for it. Am I wrong here?

Thanks in advance.

1. H1b requires a degree. Experience is based on the job requirements and has got nothing to do with H1b. If your degree in Biology helps you become a QA Analyst, an experience to substantiate it is needed. No cooking the resume.
2. Whatever that means, I am not sure if it is relevant at all. The experience obtained after the min qualification degree for a H1b is the one that counts.
3. If the employer applies it as a COS, it will and that will require to be paid from day 1.
4. Yes, do not submit a copy of your current I-94 and apply as a CP case.
5. Possible.
6. Your company should know better. The company should have a job and financial stability to back it up. A company with $10000 in a bank acount sponsoring for 100 H1bs will likely get busted.
