I am a J1 visa holder.  Got NOS and waiting for my waiver. Can I already file for my H1 petition even if I have not recieved the recommendation from USIA or INS? Once filed, will I be in legal status? My visa expires June and the H1 cap has been filled - needing to wait for FY Oct. 1, 2004.

as far as i know, u do not have to wait for the recommendation from usia or ins. can you throw some insight on how u got the nos:
1. did u send someone personally to the offices in india
2. which offices do we need to go to (addresses if possible or departments)
3. time frames - time taken for the same
it would be very helpful if u can guide us.

You will need to wait till you receive a waiver from the BCIS...you could file for H1 but if they find out that you have not fulfilled the two year home country requirement by looking at your paperwork they may not issue the paperwork and may raise an objection. The best way would be to wait till you get waiver from BCIS.
