I have a question about my 140 peition timing. I am in OPT until April 30th 2007. My current employer won't put me in H1B visa until May 1st, which is after my OPT. (They are non-profit research institute, H1B not subjected to visa cap). I want to apply I140 via NIW and submit it soon. What is the side effect if my petition is denied?
My wfe is also a F-1 student. If I put her in my petition, is her F1 status affected? Anotehr question is: will my 140 petition affect my I129 application for H1B? THanks a lot?
