I understand that the H-1B visa is getting harder and harder to get. Myself was a student from Europe that came to the U.S.A. on a student visa.I then got hired with a company who wanted to keep me and apply for the H-1B visa for me. The problem was that they applied like three weeks after the first date they could have applied, and within these three weeks the whole quota was FILLED UP. I can not stress the importance of a company getting the paperwork ready VERY good time in advance and be prepared to submit during the first couple of days. I had to go back to school for one year while waiting for the chance the following year to apply again. This time we learned and I got my H-1B. So, to all you that may get ready to apply for it, BE PREPARED AND KNOW THE DATES!
