OPT->New H1B visa(2012) with 3 month Contract PO urgent

[vramali1]

Hello all,

I am on F1- OPT and I have to file for new H1-B in April this year.

I just joined a contracting job through my employer and my employer is about to file my new H1.

The model is Me->Employer->Vendor->Client.

The contract on PO is now for 3 months and my employer says that it will be extended every 3 months according to company policy and it will be longterm.

My Question is when my employer files for my H1-B,Will I get my H1 approved for 3 years or it depends on the term on PO.

The client which i work for is a big client and employer says he will attach SOW,PO and all stuff like that.

Could you please help me what will happen when my employer files for H1 with 3 month contract PO and SOW?

Will I get a 3 year H1-B in the current situation?

Thanks,

-VIjay

I would say wait till you get an extension and then file for H1 with the extended PO, you might get log term extension after 3months and at that time you will be more safe.

With the current situation and experiences of my friends, you are likely to get a 3month visa and apply for renewal before that expires. yes, it is going to be an expensive thing for you.
