Though we tried a lot to get L1 and L2 visas thru her company but couldnt get through due to the recent rejection rate for L1 visas are very high at this time. I have around 9.5 years of work exp in IT industry and currently looking for job opportunities in India as well in US too. As I read various feedbacks shared over internet, I feel that coming on H4 would be very frustrating for me despite having huge IT experience. Can you suggest me best possible ways to get my H4 converted into H1 after moving to US and any advise / suggestions to find the job in US with details of companies / consultancies who can file for my H1B. Your inputs/advise will be of great help. Regards, Raj Hi Ridhima,

Now he is going to re-apply from Delhi.(Because transportation for Delhi is easer than Chennai.Is it okay? May he re-apply from Delhi or he has to re-apply from same center only?1 more question does he need any additional sponsorship?As I think if he get his H4 visa,it should be on the base of my pay & employer's business strenght,any other sponsorship doesn't work over there.Please if you assist me in this matter,it will be really helpful to me. Thank you Hi
