1. I went for H-1Bhttps://www.mvplawgroup.com/h-1b-visas visa stamping and after my interview, I was given a 221g letter and eventually after a few months, denied. What happens next? Can I go for another interview? Your H-1B petition will likely be returned by the Consulate to the USCIS. The USCIS will then review the Consulate’s report of your interview, along with the petition that was filed. The USCIS will either reaffirm the approval, or issue a Notice of Intent to Revoke. If reaffirmed, you will be able to go for another interview. If a Notice of Intent to Revoke is issued, your employer will need to respond and based on the response, the USCIS will either reaffirm the original approval or revoke the case. If reaffirmed after responding to the Notice of Intent to Revoke, you will be able to go for another interview. If the case is revoked, the case is withdrawn/closed. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/administrative-processing-information.html
2. Can I file the I-129 (H-1B) and I-539 (H4) concurrently online? What are the fees for the H4? You cannot file the I-129 and I-539 concurrently online. You can file the I-129 online and once you receive the receipt, file the I-539 online but you cannot file them simultaneously like you can a paper-based filing. Form I-539 includes a USCIS filing fee of $420.00 if filed online, or $470.00 if paper based. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/g-1055.pdf

1. Do I have to work full time on an H-1B, or may I work part time? No, you may work full-time or part-time. There is no rule as to the minimum number of hours. Working less than 35 hours per week will result in part-time employment. Pay close attention to what has been marked on your Certified Labor Condition Application (LCA) and Form I-129, page 5, regarding your full time or part time status.

1. I am a foreign Dentist having graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery degree, having 9 years of experience serving patients, what are my chances of practicing in the United States? If you are a foreign educated dentist and wish to practice in the United States, you will need to be accepted and enroll in a dental education program accredited by the American Dental Association Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA). You can obtain a Doctor of Dental Surgery or a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree by attending an advanced standing program in the U.S. You will also need to pass the Integrated National Board Dental Examination (INBDE), a standardized written exam. Once you earn your D.D.S or D.M.D, you will then be able to seek work in the U.S. through Optional Practical Training (OPT) for 12 months. If you desire to work in the United States beyond those 12 months, you will need to research other nonimmigrant visa options such as the H-1B nonimmigrant visa worker program.

2. What are the requirements to practice in the United States? Most states require the attainment of a Doctor of Dental Surgery or a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree, passing the INBDE, and a State License in order to practice in the field of Dentistry.

1. I was not selected in the H-1B CAP lottery process. Am I eligible for the TN visa? There may be several options available to you, you should schedule a consultation with an experienced Immigration Attorney to go through each of your options. First and foremost, the USCIS may conduct a 2^nd random lottery selection process sometime in the summer if they do not receive enough filings from those selected in the initial registration process. If not selected in the lottery process, there are a plethora of other nonimmigrant visa options that may be available to you.

The TN visa is reserved exclusively for nationals of Canada and Mexico. Only certain professions are eligible, the profession must be listed in the regulations, and you must possess the qualifications necessary to practice in the profession. You must also have a pre-arranged full-time or part-time job lined up with a U.S. employer. The visa is valid for up to 3 years at a time.
