I know this Q. may have been asked in the past. but i just want to make sure if it is true:

if someone clears all 3 STEPS and gets Matched somewhere, where they sponser H1B:

1- do they need a "Certificate of need" from the ministry of health like they do for J1?

2- if all the paper-work is done by the employer and the form I-797 is issued. does it mean that H1B is guaranteed or there is a chance that H1B might be refused even with all the documents presented?

I really appereciate your help.
thanks.

I don't believe so.

I'll let you know when my last two residents start - we are still waiting for the final approval from the overseas embassy.

cos from health mionistry is only needed for j1 visas.
as a rule H1B has got less chances of rejections but in all likelyhood you will be starting your residency late.

chance of j1 getting rejected is more if u have one of ur close relatives in US ona greencard or if they r us citizens,but haviung said that in my case it got approved.

Hope this helps clear ur doubts.
