I am going through the same pain. If y'll have any idea than plz, do advise me.

My situation is little different. I graduated with Business degree but started a job in  a Hospital as a Medical Technologist. I had some good experience from Nepal. The company gave me an opportunity to exercise my knowledge in US and are training me the related work too.

I have not ask them for any sponsorship, since, I am still on my prohibition period.

After few months if I asked them, I see a high chance that they will sponsor me ( they do not want to loose me).

The Question is :

1. Job I am doing now is different than my degree earned here, how does it effects for the H1 processing? Is it supposed to be major related ?

2. Do you see any chance of H1 approval in my case (according to your experience) ?

2. When is the right time to apply and process for H1 ? ( My OPT is going to expire on July 2011 )
