Two tips:

  1. Do not post your resume here. It is a forum for primarily technical discussions and postings like yours will mainly arouse irritation.

  1. DO NOT work through "reliable consultants". Principals ONLY. Most H-1B abuses are carried out by "reliable consultants".

You do not need an attorney to file an H-1B, but it is strongly advisable. The majority of companies that would be interested in sponsoring you will have their own legal staff to do the legwork.

In fact, the key word here is "sponsoring". You can only get an H-1B visa if there is a company who has committed to hire you -- and it is only good for as long as you remain employed.

Think "indentured servitude".

So here are some points to pay attention to:

  • Anyone who says they can get you an H-1B visa before you have a job is blowing smoke. Check with your local US consulate for verification.

  • An H-1B visa isn't a green card, and some employers use that as a lever to pay you less than you're worth, and otherwise treat you badly.

  • If you are thinking about changing jobs, you have to negotiate the new job, then get the new company to be your new sponsor. I have no idea of the legal details since I enjoy US citizenship, but I'd want to check out the details before I left home, if I were you.

Good luck.

Yes, with an asterisk. Actually, several asterisks. Immigration law and tax law are in fierce competition for the "most incomprehensible legislation ever" prize.

-USUALLY- what this means is that the person proffering the H-1B is running a body shop; they become the sponsor and hire out the slave^H^H^H^H^Hhi-tech worker to whomever will pay the price.

This is why I said the OP should deal with principals only.

It's much simpler now than it used to be. Once you have accepted the new job, the new employer must submit a new visa application, or more correctly a change of sponsor. You do not have to wait for the visa to be approved; you can start work at the new place immediately. FedEx, etc. tracking information showing that the application was delivered to the USCIS service center is good enough.

Being an H-1B is very stressful, especially when times aren't good. I don't know that I would do it again. (I'm no longer in H-1B status, luckily).

Hello Lewin,

AFAIK a candidate cannot file for his own H-1B. The company has to file. They will usually use an immigration attorney.

The candidate files the actual visa application in his home country after the company has obtained the I-797 stating that the candidate is approved.

Hello Lewin,

True, although that last part is pretty much a formality.
