  • Questions regarding H1B Premium Processing Option

    Hi All,

    Hope you are doing well.

    I have a question related to the H1B Premium Processing option. As per my employer's immigration department, in spite of applying through the Premium Processing (paying an additional fee of ~ USD 1,225 over and above the regular fee for H1 application), a successful applicant can only travel after October in a particular year.

    Is this correct?

    As per my understanding, the whole idea of this option is to be able to get access to a fast-track process through which you can be granted a H1B within 15 working days. Once you get the visa, you should be in a position to start your employment in the US without having to wait any longer.

    Please help me understand my options here. My aim is to be able to start working in the US on a H1B as early as possible in the next financial year (Apr 2013). I do not wish to wait until Oct 2013 to relocate to the US.

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards,
    Kunaal.

    This is my opinion. Not a legal advice

      On a fresh H1 you dont have any option but to wait till 01-Oct-2013. If you are eligible and the company honors your wishes, you can ask your employer to file L1B under premium this can possibly, if approved, enable you to reach US before Oct 2013

      This is my opinion not legal advice.

        If you are to work in academic sector, you can work earlier than Oct 2013.
