If you want an H1 sponsor, you need to get a job.  Any company can sponsor you, but in order to get the visa you need to have at the very least a binding offer of employment along with some other qualifications (education, type of employment, etc.).

This is a tricky one, Your not supposed to be able to get an interview until Oct 01, However if you call the US embassy in you country of residence, they may give you an interview.\nWhen getting mine, I applied for an interview in May, got an appointment for Aug, and the H1b was also issued in Aug, 2 months before it should have been valid. This made the visa 3 years and 2 months. \n\nGood luck, it's tough to get into the US LEGALLY.

You need a job offer from an American company, then you can apply for an H1B visa.

Bear in mind that the basis for an H1B is that you are highly skilled, not necessarily highly schooled. \n\nYou will need to find a reputable company that is interested enough in your qualifications that they will petition for you to come to the US to work for them.  You cannot apply for an H1B visa on your own.\n\nSee the following USCIS site for further information:\n\nhttp://www.uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/h1b.htm#apply

what you are undertaking is a very difficult thing.  to sponsor an international employee, companies have to show that they have done an exhaustive search of american workers and cannot find anyone in the US to hire.  this is american government policy. \n\nand then, on top of that, if they DO want to hire someone from outside the US, the sponsorship fee is several thousand dollars.  so because of the pain-in-the-ass factor and the cost of sponsorship, most companies are reluctant to hire foreigners unless they are really desperate, or already have someone in mind for a specialized position.\n\nalso keep in mind that a "green card" means you are a permanent resident of the US, which a company cannot get for you.  all they can do is sponsor you for a work visa, which usually has a fixed term (4 or 5 years or so).  getting a green card is easier once you are here but it is still a big hurdle.

For H1B visa, you need a job offer from a US employer who is also willing to sponsor your H1B. You can start with contacting the US companies with branches in Japan, or Japanese companies with offices in USA.

Been there...done that!!!\nI speak through experience...speak calmly, be honest - state what is your purpose...like if you come here thru work visa, tell you need to work here...if you come thru finance visa, tell you will marry a person from here!\nBe ready to know all the information that you wrote in the paper...it must be the same as what you are going to answer them! \nBe ready with all the paperwork, coz they might ask for it.\nIf you need to bring pictures to prove then bring it too!\nIn short, bring everything you could imagine that might be helpful in the interview! \nThen stay relax!\nOh one more thing...check your spellings...must all be the same...tell u one example, a friend of mine - she didnt notice the mispelled name on her birth certificate and the other paper she brought so she was denied! thats all that it  takes.

I am not an immigration lawyer so don’t take my word as final answer.\n\nAs a US resident ( which you are since you are living here and paying tax) you are allow to participate any Sweepstakes /lotto/lottery. So wining those is legal and you are subject to appropriate tax.\n\nAbout eBay/Ad sense/Affiliate Marketing, they are considered as business. You are allowed to invest or start a business in USA. Again you have to follow appropriate laws and regulation. But you are not allow to work anyone (including you own business) but the company filed your H1b for. So you have to hire someone to work for your business or run eBay/ad sense.\nI know some people running business (like gas station) but they are still in H1b visa even one has F1 visa. They are hiring other people to work for their business. \nWell… running a business is also some types of work even you hire someone to work for you. I am not how those things work but pretty sure there is way to do legally.\n\nIf you are planning to do something like this I recommend you to consult a good immigration lawyer.

If you do this, you will be deemed as entering fraudulently which can not only lead to your H1B being denied, but also create significant problems with any future plans you may have with immigrating permanently. The fact that your F-1 is stamped in your passport is inconsequential -- the officer at the border can pull up your records (which indicate you have a petition pending), and then it would snowball downhill from there.\n\nYou need to wait until your H1B is approved, then you may leave, apply for the H1B visa stamp at the U.S. consulate in your home country, and then re-enter without a problem. \n\nGood luck

If you have an approved I-797 form, you can make an appointment for visa interview at the US Embassy to apply for your H1-B visa.  Here is the embassy's page which explains the application process:\nhttp://dubai.usconsulate.gov/dubai/gvi.html

H1B extensions generally take 2-3 months.\n\nYou can leave the country without the approval, but your employer will need to send it to you in India and then you will need to apply for the visa stamp at the appropriate US Embassy.\n\nGood luck!

you can't.  It's something an employer does when they agree to sponsor you as an employee.  You need to get the job first, then you get the visa.

i found as ite dedicated to visa information.http://www.projectvisa.com/\n\n hey not sure if this answers your question.\n\nFor every H-1B petition filed with the USCIS, there must be included a Labor Condition Application (LCA) certified by the U.S. Department of Labor. The LCA ensures that the wage offered to the non-immigrant worker must meet or exceed the prevailing wage, as determined by the Department of Labor, in the area of employment. The LCA also contains an attestation section designed to prevent the program from being used to import foreign workers for the purpose of breaking a strike, or for the purpose of replacing US citizen workers. Under the regulations, LCAs are a matter of public record. Corporations hiring H-1Bs are required to make these records available to any member of the public who requests to look at them. Copies of the relevant records are also available from various web sites, including the Department of Labor. Unfortunately, there has been very little attempt to enforce these provisions, especially those parts which require that the H-1B visa holder be paid the "prevailing wage".\n\nExamination of the LCA data base suggests that, contrary to law, the majority of H-1B workers are being paid substantially less than the "prevailing wage", usually 30-40% less. In addition, the public records show many cases in which H-1B holders are being paid less than one-third of what a US worker is paid.[citation needed]\n\nMany companies avoid filing LCAs and the appearance of hiring vast numbers of H-1B employees by hiring through employment agencies. The H-1B holder is then a permatemp and typically paid even less, as the agency offered a low bid to the paying company and also takes a large cut of the H1-B holders salary.[citation needed]\n\n[edit]\nRecent changes to US law\nThe American Competitiveness in the Twenty-First Century Act of 2000 and the Department of Labor's PERM system for labor certification erased most of the earlier claimed arguments for H-1B's as indentured servants during the green card process. With PERM, labor certification processing times have been reduced to less than 90 days. Due to the changes in the law, the H-1B employee is free to change jobs six months after their I-140 application has been approved by USCIS, even if their I-485 application is backlogged in processing, if the position to which they are moving is substantially comparable to their current position. In some cases, if those labor certifications are withdrawn and replaced with PERM applications, processing times will improve, but the person will also lose their favorable priority date. In those cases, employers' incentive to attempt to lock in H-1B employees to a job by offering a green card is reduced, because the employer bears the high legal costs and fees associated with labor certification and I-140 processing, but the H-1B employee is still free to change jobs.\n\nHowever, many people are ineligible to file I-485 at the current time. Thus, they may well still be stuck with their sponsoring employer for many years. There are also many old labor certification cases pending under pre-PERM rules.\n\nOn May 25, 2006 the senate passed immigration bill 2611 which would increase the number of H1-B visas from the current level of 65,000 to 115,000 annually with a potential automatic yearly increase of 20%. This legislation must still pass the House to become law, however there has been very little opposition from either party.\n\ngood luck!
