Need help on a H1-B visa

[Jambag 1987 0]

I would really appreciate any help I can get;

I have just finished a Masters in Marketing and have been offered a job by a friend in San diego.

I did not know how to start the process and after time researching visa info online, I identified the H1-B visa as my best visa option. Am I right to think this?

Also, we applied for the H1-B visa in February, through the i-129 form.

We have heard very little back from the immigration and wondering what is the process, i.e. how long will it take and how can I help the situation?

Thank you very much to anybody that can try and help my situation.

What does the Company's lawyer say?

You have to file a petition and normally company lawyer takes care of this.

If I am not wrong there is a requirement as how big the company is in terms of its assest and employees.

To have lawyer is the best option when filing H1

Thank you very much for your replies.

In response, the company lawyer was consulted and approved.

My main concern is whether I have chosen the right route to obtaining the position I have been offered?

i.e. is the H1-B visa the best visa for my situation?

what , if any, other options are there?

Thank you

It is not your choice, it is your Employers.

I wouldn't worry too much about not having heard back yet. The process can sometimes be a slow one. Still, the posters here are correct in that the company's lawyer should be assisting you with this. Maybe that should be your next move?
