By overstaying his authorized stay, he is inadmissible and subject to the 3-year bar for having been unlawfully present in the US in excess of 6 months but less than 1 year. He will need to apply for a waiver of the inadmissibility on form I-601, but to qualify for the waiver he must prove extreme hardship to his wife or parents in the US. Thus, at a minimum you will need to get married and submit an I-130 petition on his behalf to get the process started.

The filing of an I-130 will not affect a future application for H1B because that is one of the few nonimmigrant visas that permit dual intent.

It is the I-94 that controls when you are inside the U.S. Thus, you would need to apply for the H-1B prior to the expiration of your I-94 and all are used up for now. *H-1B Specialty Occupation Visa* You qualify for what is known as the H-1B Specialty Occupation Visa. You will need to have an employer agree to sponsor you for a job. It does not need to be a full-time position, but it should be related to your degree. Our firm can do the entire petition. Once we begin processing and get it filed, it normally takes about six to nine months to get the approval. Please note that H-1B's are very limited and are only available for small periods of time during the year. Therefore, Premium Processing discussed next should be used. If you want a work permit in an expedited manner, you can take advantage of the Premium Processing program at USCIS. This will allow you to have the expedited answer in less than one month. You will need to add $1,500.00 to the cost below for Premium Processing. There are only a limited number of H-1B's and it must be filed by April 1. However, it is still possible it will not get selected for this years allotment.
