H1B Questions please post

[Sthomas]

Hi,

My employer has applied for my H1B this year. I am on OPT and the OPT will expire this September. My questions are:
1.) How and when will I know that I have been selected in the lottery?
2.) If selected when will I have to go to India to get it stamped? (Depending on this date my family would fix my wedding) IS the time flexible or is there any limitations with respect to the date for stamping?
3.) I have my DL that expires with my OPT EAD card date? If selected/not selected how do I proceed with it?
4.) Also, how many days will the total process take? Like from filing H1B to Stamping?
5.) Is it possible to pursue MS with a spouse's (H4) visa? Do companies sponsor them for a H1B visa as they are not eligible for OPT? Or can they get back to India and then apply for F1- visa? Can somebody elaborate the process please.

Thanks for the response.

Congratulations for your wedding.

Ask them for the fedex or USPS tracking number..

[DesiOPT-FaceBook-Fan]

as of now fedex tracking num

[DesiOPT-FaceBook-Fan]

You wont know , until the company receives the receipt of your application from USCIS, which will be after the lottery after April 7, the most probable date you will get to know is the last week of April

[DesiOPT-FaceBook-Fan]

The below comments are correct. U can ask ur Employer to give you the tracking number of whatever service through which they have used to send the docs to the USCIS and once given you might start working with that tracking number too.

[DesiOPT-FaceBook-Fan]

Make sure it reaches before April 7th, in case there is lottery.
