Hello all,

I have a tough question for you. If a person is in US with a visitor visa B1-B2 and if this person is offered a position to be the representative of a foreign political party, can he be sponsored to apply for H1 visa?

The party office here is assembled as "incorporation" and he will be the only employee for now until more staff is acquired. He is about 1 month away from the 6 month visitation cap.

Please advice if you know any solid information on this type of situation?

Thanks for all your help.

Best.

There may be other options, probably not. Something to discuss with the Immigration Lawyer of the political party.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

The party is not familiar with the immigration procedures and has not been established in US yet to help him with this matter. He is a friend and i am trying to make sure he doesn't violate any of the immigration laws and leaves in good time to remain in goodstanding with BCIS.

I assume once the quota is met, it would be useless to try for a cap exempt consideration. Does anyone know if this kind of employment would be considered cap exempt. There is currently noone in US that the position can be offered to.

Nobody expects such an organisation to be familiar with the intracies of US Immigration Law, that is what Immigration Lawyers are for and do.

Why do you think it would be cap exempt?

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
