Should my stepdaughter apply for tourist visa first then once here I can mail off the I130 as her sponsor?

Brian D. Lerner
Answered by attorney Brian D. Lerner (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Law Offices of Brian D. Lerner
Coming to the US on tourist visa the intention to stay permanently is fraud. She should apply for a work permit. *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.
