Hi All,
This is Ram.I have a query regarding the H1B visa.

Right now I am in US on a B1 visa.I was in US from Feb 2011 and my B1 is stamped for 6 months (untill July 2011) and my employer is planning to apply my H1 this year in July or August.

I heard that staying in US on B1 visa for more time ( 6 months continously) will effect my chances of getting my H1B visa.I want to know how far it's true.I have an option to leave US after 3 months(by April 2011).So, In case if there are chances that my rejection of H1 increases because of my stay here in US on B1 for 6 months, I will plan to leave US this April.In case staying on B1 for 6 months and rejection of H1 are not related, I am planning to stay in US for 6 months untill July.

Please help me to take the correct decision for my H1 visa to be granted.

Thanks,
Ram
