hello login, if you are hired in a university, you do not need to worry about 65000 visa quota. one of my friend was hired by his university and just got H1b. he hired a lawyer by himself in his case. H1b process in a university is little bit longer. the main thing is they have to create position, and you need paper signed by your employer ( may be your professor or others) and sometime from deal of your school. after you get those paper done, it will only take couple of weeks to get yout H1B. in my friend's case it took him just 7 days as he did premium processing for H1B. so do not worry about quota. hope this helps. my friend's case is just about 20 days old.
