H1B1 and I-129
Hi,
The employer says H1B1 is applied. But when we look the case status, we see I-129 is submitted. According to USCIS, as for H1B1, no need to submit the I-129 form.
we are confused, pls. help.
By the way, can H1B1 visa holder apply for GC ?

USA-Today, I answered a couple other posts of yours, covering these
questions, I think.
It occurs to me that your employer may not know what it is doing. You
should bring a competent immigration attorney into your case as soon as
possible, even if you have to pay the attorney fees yourself.
It appears that your employer applied for a regular H-1B, and unless the
employer is a university or nonprofit or government research institute, you
will not be able to obtain H-1B status under this new petition until October
1, 2005, because all 2004-2005 H-1B visa numbers have been used. The FTA
Chile and Singapore H-1B categories have their own quotas of 1,400 and 5,400
respectively, which can be used during the period 10/01/2004 to 09/30/2005.
