B1 to H1B

Post by anand.neeli » Mon Oct 08, 2007 7:54 pm

Hi,
I'm working in India and applied for H1B(through a company in US). My H1B is still in process. Now i have to go to US on a B1(through my employer in India) for 2 months.[Note that the two employers for my H1B and B1 are different]

If my H1B gets approved I’ll quit my present job in India. I have following doubts if my H1B gets approved during my stay in US.
[Also note that I have to come back to India to quit my present job]

1) If my H1b get approved during my stay in US(on B1) can i get my H1B stamping done in US or do i have to come to India for that?

2) If my H1b get approved during my stay in US(on B1), What should be the best approach to follow so as to get my H1B without any hassles?

Thanks,
AKN

Easiest route is likely to have your H1-B visa stamped in India (you can only get visas stamped outside the U.S. anyway).

Why would you want to do things any other way?
