Q:
Can my wife and single children under 21 get an H-1B visa with me?
A: Yes. They are given H-4 Dependent visas. However,
although they do not have INS work authorizations, they may enroll lawfully
in school.
Q: What procedures are involved in filing for an
H-1B petition?
A: First, the Immigration Attorney must research
the correct position title in compliance with the Department of Labor (DOL)
and then ascertain the "Prevailing Wage" for that occupation in that geographic
area (documents submitted twice to the DOL). Next, the Attorney prepares a
document for the employer to post internally. The attorney then prepares documents
for the employer to sign which will be submitted to an INS regional office,
along with the earlier submitted documents sent to the DOL.
Q: Will the H-1B visa ever give me a "Green Card"?
A: No. It is a non-immigrant visa.
Q:Can a foreign national hold multiple H-1B visas if her or she wishes to
work on a part-time basis in several jobs?
A: Yes. However, it is not lawful to begin looking
for a second, third, or fourth employer until the first H-1B has been approved.
