Do you have anyy idea how much duratin for H1b visa on pasport for michgan limited medical liecensing... I mean 1 year or 3 year??

And last question is that my passport ll be expire on jusly 2010 so does they give me 3 year H1b from 2009 -2012 on this passport or should I renew that before aply but I think that they have to renew that when onle 6 month remaining in that passport expiry

H-1B is consular processing type so it's best to apply at US consulate in your home country. Visa term depends on contract offered by your employer.

If your passport is expired while you' re in US, you can renew your passport at the Pakistan consulate in US, visas in the old passport will be endorsed onto the new one, and you can simply hand both to immigration officer and you can get a new via stamp when you renew your visa OR you obtain a new passport before proceeding with H-1B.
