I am more interested in giving serious useful info. See my other answers also please\n\nYes.\nQuoted from US citizenship and immigration Services website.:\n\nCan an H-1B alien intend to immigrate permanently to the U.S.?\n\nYes. An H-1B alien can be the beneficiary of an immigrant visa petition, apply for adjustment of status, or take other steps toward Lawful Permanent Resident status without affecting H-1B status. This is known as "dual intent" and has been recognized in the immigration law since passage of the Immigration Act of 1990. During the time that the application for LPR status is pending, an alien may travel on his or her H-1B visa rather than obtaining advance parole or requesting other advance permission from Immigration to return to the U.S.\nSee http://uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/h1b.htm\n\nTo the question how to apply--\nRead the above link carefully. You need a USA based company sponsor you. Still you may have to wait. Do you have any company to sponsor you? \n\nAnswers should be verified for accuracy

You can apply to school and get an F-1 visa. this gives you OPT /EAD card which allows you to work legally in the  U.S. and have time to find an H-1B sponsor. You can get a J-1 only if your job is one of the prequalified jobs. You can only do a change of status if you have a J-1, F-1, L-1 or other qualified work visas. There are many people here on work visas (nonimmigrant) that have also applied for green cards. As long as you are in the country legally and eventually apply for your green card that's fine. If you are here illegally an marry a U.S.Citizen you still have a shot. If you apply for a work visa and they ask you your intent you say to work. Trust me no immigration officer is shocked to know you want to stay forever.\n\nP.S. No need to get nasty people. With the exception of American Indians we all come from, or are immigrants from another country.

Yes you can but You must have a valid visa to return to the US. If your H1B status is approved by USCIS but your visa in your passport is expired, you must go to the embassy and get a new visa before returning to the US. For H1B cases this is only a procedure, if you have a USCIS approval you won't have any problems getting the visa.\n\nAlso, you can travel to Canada and Mexico and return on your expired visa if your USCIS status is valid. You can also get your visa from any consulate in Canada or Mexico

If you still have your old visas and passports, you should be able to prove it with that.  There are different notations that are put it your passport that would show your status.  Also, why do you need a letter of exemption?  What is your status now?  Who are you trying to show proof of your H1-B status?

The best way to get in USA is to get H1B visa which is granted to high skilled workers. You can contact recruitment agencies in USA who are specialized in the business of recruitment and placements.\n\nOne of the companies I know is this. \nArul Rajah,\nChief Operating Officer,\nRegency Technologies,Inc.\nCertified MBE Firm\nTel 817 540 6055\nFax 817 282 3275\nwww.regencytech.com\nwww.nunet-tech.com\nsales@advaitaa.com

An H-4 visa may be granted to a spouse and any unmarried children under 21 years of age of an H1B visa holder.\n\nWork: A person with an H4 visa may not work unless the person qualifies for an H-1B visa and is approved for a "Change of Status" by the INS. \nEducation: A person with an H4 may seek a post secondary education by converting their status to an "F1" (full-time student) visa. Full-time means a minimum of twelve (12) credits per semester in an institution recognized by the INS. Conversion to a different visa is not necessary is to attend a community colleges. A community college, however, offer diplomas rather than degrees which may make it more difficult to qualify for your own H1-B visa. \nH4 holders are able to acquire a Driver's license, open a Bank account, enter into contracts or even go to college. Children on H4 visas do not need a separate visa to attend school.\n\nAnother option for those interested in continuing their education, is to attend community colleges.  It does not require a change in your visa status. \n\nYou may also convert an H4 visa to an H1 visa, if you can provide proof, that you are qualified for the position and qualify under the H1B guidelines with prior work experience.

NO.  If you apply for citizenship in another country you foreit your American citizenship.\n\nThe only way you could have dual citizenship is if you were born somewhere outside of US, or automatically granted (like marriage).

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

Not that I know of.  But there are countries that allow "naturalized" citizens to do so.  Canada, for one.
