Applying for H1B.. Can also apply for Schengen Business Visa for Germany when H1B is on processing?

score:2

Accepted answer

I assume you currently are in a third-party country.

Schengen is independent of US. So

  • Q1. Yes
  • Q2. No
  • Q3. no
  • Q4. No (see below)

You have much more relaxed timeline here. Even if you are selected in the H1B lottery, actual processing to having your visa papers approved takes a lot of time (about 3 weeks if your future employer go premium, 3-4 months if not). Then the originals of the visa papers (I-129 and I-797B - approval) are mailed to you, only then can you go the consulate with your passport and apply for a visa. And being subject to a cap, you have until October, 1st to get it.
