Does anyone in this forum know how the H1-B visa work? by that I mean suppose a person enteres the US on H1-B visa, should he/she work for that employer for a certain period? can he go to school in the mean time? can the relative of that person immidiately file for his/her Green Card?

Thanks

Entering on an H1-B and immediately filing becasue of a relative ususally raises red flags with USCIS. You might want to wait a while. The H1-B is dual intenet meaning you are OK to apply for a green card while on it. WHat is technically iffy is entering on H1-B status for the very first when you know that you have a relative who is going to sponsor you.

Also...... yes you can go to school but be careful you are not allowed to receive any financial aid etc as your employer can be your only source of earned income while on an H1-B
