Aspire,Sad to know about your case. First of all, you have to make sure that you have a very good lawyer. There are many inexperienced immigration attorneys who may also not charge much, but you have to look for good and experienced ones even though they might charge a bit more. Afterall, it's regarding status, which is very, very important. So, be sure that you have a good immigration attorney before you buy his suggestions. If you're not sure that you're attorney is a good one, I can provide you with the contact info of some good ones. Just let know here in this thread.Next thing, you can apply for H4-dependent of H1B-on April next year. But, you might know as well that you have to first marry him to be eligible to apply for his dependent and thus for the H4 status. The H1B only is valid from October next year, so you might also know that you will not be in status until then. However, applying through your boy friend to be in status is the best option I can see, although I am not an immigration attorney. Last year's H1B visa was based on the lottery system, I am not sure how next year's would be. So, learn about things with the immigration attorney in detail and discuss every scenario. Good Luck to you! -HF <BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>
