Here are the questions I have.
1.Although I belive I am qualified to apply H-1B visa, is there any chance I will be failed of my application? How can I avoid the failure.

2. Do we really need a lawyer? How much will it cost generally?

Thank you for your help.

I am NOT an attorney.

There is always a chance for approval or denial as one can never know what they consider on a case-by-case basis.

How to avoid failure? Contact an attorney!!!

You really do not need an attorney, because there are so many DIY kits available on the net, but with the caps going on quickly and so many details, you better off making sure nothing goes wrong.

Just do a search on the net H1B Visa and you can figure out the fees for H1B.

Try to get references on the attorney you choose.

best of luck
