H1B visa interview - doubtful

h1b US visa interview

Hi,

I have an h1b interview next month. I am not planning to go to US for at least next 3 years.

Is there any problem in going to US after three years? Will it lead me to greencard?

Can i use the same h1b visa after three years or do i need to file a new petition after three years?

Is it recommendable to go for the interview next month? Or will it jeopardize the chance of going after three years?

Thanks,

Ramesh

H-1B has not path to greencard - it's completely independent from it. It's typically easier to convince employer to file for green card if you were working for him on H-1B but other than that, it has nothing to do with it.

Don't know the answer to your other questions.

H1B now? They usually give them out in April to start work in October.....

it's so hard to get a job and to be sponsored, i think you should apply now and work there, waiting for 3 years doen't match with the H1 b cause it's linked to a job offer, do your employer will wait for 3 years?

you are in the process of having your visa granted so you don't have it already, refusing the interview will cancell your process. you will have to restart in 3 years (with job offer and paper filled again)

while you're in the states under H1B, and during the 3 years of your visa, you can apply for a green card.
