The H-1B visa is one of dual intent meaning that you can also have the intention to immigrate so long as you keep abiding by the terms of the nonimmigrant visa. Assuming that you do not misrepresent the fact that you already have an immigrant visa petition approved on your behalf when you apply for the H1B visa at the Consulate, you would not have a problem with the H1B visa when you are called to interview while you are in the US.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
