Applying for H1B while in PreOPT

[rockerz]

Hi DesiOPT team,
I am doing internship from June 2014 in a startup. They are ready to sponsor H1B for me in 2015(I am interested to work for them). I am in my 3rd semester now and I will be graduating in May 2015. I will be in preOPT from Jan 2015. I am being paid as a 1099 employee and also will be continued to be paid as the same as a full time employee too. I will be the first person to be sponsored an H1 visa from my company.
1. Will I come under MS category in H1 lottery process.
2. I am traveling to India in Dec. Will there be any problem if I apply preOPT in November.
3. Will working prolonged time as a 1099 employee affect?
4. What are the charges that incur in the process of h1 application both for the company and for me.


Thanks in advance.

1) NO you will not 2) Your work will end when CPT expires better to get H1b done 4) it looks like its going to be lottery, Earliest you can.. Good Luck

[DesiOPT-FaceBook-Fan]

1 u have to have completed degree when u apply ..
2 1099 on opt is acceptable but not on h1 .. ( but w2 is safe option even in opt )
4 depends on company size and type of company it would be around 3000$-6000$ all base fee should be paid by employer .. U can pay for premium processing ..

[DesiOPT-FaceBook-Fan]

If you want to apply withou degree, you can apply in general cap, not masters cap

[DesiOPT-FaceBook-Fan]

No
Yes 1099 is not acceptable for H1b should be on w2
Ur employer should pay for your H1b I mean he should sponcer you and if premium should be done it depends upon u and ur employer
