H1B Sponsorships
Dear Moderator,
I am writing to inquire if you have an idea about issuing of H1B sponsorships from the company. I am applying in an IT company located in New Jersey, they ask me to pay 5,000 USD just to issue me H1B, they told me that the amount will be used to process my papers in INS-USCIS, (but as far as I know, if I am not mistaken, INS-USCIS only if I have to process my citizenship and naturalization in the US), but I only need H1-temporary working status, just wandering, is this the way the company may issue an offer of H1B or employment? Why have to pay? 5k USD is 5k USD, that is a big amount already closes to half a million in a country like Philippines.
And they told me to travel to US while processing my dox, and they offer their company's guest room for my accomodation and I might be rejected for the H1B according to Lottery system
Kindly please or anybody there , can react on this, Thank you so Much...
never pay money for h1b
Hi Eric,
You never should pay money to get your H1b paper work done by any potential employer in the USA. It is against the law for the employer to ask the employee(you) to pay for your visa fees when applying for a h1b visa. Green card has different rules, but you don't have to shell a penny to any company operating from New Jersey or anywhere for that matter. It smells trouble and there are quite a few of those consultancy companies here who threaten new employees.
Hope this helps, and i know cos I work for a company in the us under h1b visa, but have met some people who had their official papers confiscated by such bully-employees.
