I don't actually understand why companies file H1s and file green cards for H1 employees when so many of them just jump ship afterwards. Seems stupid, unless the guys are being underpaid to begin with which might make it make sense

I suppose you don't quite understand the "under the table" games that go on? 

 

Companies (esp many shady Indian consultancies) almost always recoup sponsoring costs from employees one way or another. More often than not, its mostly about having a company/consultancy to file PERM/labor etc; and as soon as a i140 is approved, employees jump ship. In the end, it's all about getting a start on the coveted green card, even if the wait is years.

Another thread going on about Body Shops, I guess there may be a legitimate one but have yet to come across it.

That's not what was stated. Nobody stated you can't change employers.

They stated that an existing application cannot be transferred or amended. A new one is needed.

That is supported by the links you have provided.

ok sure.

 

this is what I wrote:

 

" - After H1b is completed you can move to difference company, other employer can submit amendment ( change of employer). "

 

Mollie09 said not possible.

Correct, that is what was stated. It is still accurate.

There is no amendment to be submitted. Amendments are when there is a material change in the terms or conditions of employment by the petitioner.

There is a new petition to be filed by a new employer. This is under the classification of a change of employer, but it's still a new petition that is adjudicated based on the merits of the case. It's not a transfer.

No such thing as an H1B transfer, only not counting against the cap after the first time. Each H1B application starts from scratch, no such thing as an amendment to change employers.

Thanks for posting the official page that confirms what I said

i was able to request H1b application withdrawal. 

 

I guess people are too judgmental without knowing exact situation. the forum should help with technical issues not pass judgement.

Lol so you did the right thing after all, well done. 

 

As for jidgement, sorry if you don’t like being called out (but I’m guessing the discussion here helped you decide to request withdrawal so, it worked). Welcome to the Internet, where your free advice always comes with strings!

You’re right. (Sigh)

Hopefully when they push for more skilled visas they’ll do more to address these issues as well. They seem to have started doing it with Ls already but those might be easier to check on.

Please don't misquote me, I merely mentioned the private sites are not trustworthy. That was it!
