Please advise. Visitor visa for H1 CAP exempt, good idea?

[Bharathn]

Hello, 

Would you please advise whether to go ahead with visitor visa for me. 

I hold a cap exempt h1b. But, stamped visa has expired.

I got 221G during the previous H1 stamping due to not providing client letter in May 2016.

My wife is currently in US, working on Student OPT. Its been two years since we met. Had tried for F2 visa, but got 214B in June 2016. 

So, under the above circumstances, is it a good idea to try and get visitor visa to go and visit my wife?

 

Thanks,

Bharath

You can certainly try. But it will possibly not be granted. If you do be absolutely honest and say you want to visit her for 6 weeks and get an appropriate job leave letter. If the antecedents of her college are doubtful, then you may not get a visa. H1 with a good employer seems feasible.

Thank you for your valuable advise. Would you please elaborate what was meant "antecedent of her college". Are you referring to citing a significant event, like her graduation? She hasn't taken the grad walk yet, waiting for me.

Also my current employer has promised to apply for my h1 amendment early next year. But it's not 100% sure. So, getting a leave letter from my employer for 6 weeks might be tricky. Please advise any other letters like employment letter payslips could help?
