Stamping when there are multilayer vendors

[Peresh1113]

Hi,

 

I have a query.

I came to USA on H4 in March 2013 and applied for H1B immediately. I got my H1B approval in Sep 2013 and I started working in Nov 2013.

Here is my contractual layer

Employer (A) ----> Vendor (B)------->Prime Vendor to client  ©-------------> Client (D). 

I have been working in the same contract pattern from the time I started working in USA on H1B

D is one of the best known sports brand in the world and C is one of the best MNCs.

Right now, I am working on 3rd project for the same client and same contract pattern

 

The client D does not provide client letter but B and C will provide the required letter.

I had 3 months break between my project 1&2 and 5 weeks break between Project2&3. But have payslips for the break time as well.

 

I will be going to Chennai for stamping in November 2015. This is my first stamping after H1B approval

I have a few questions, looking forward for some suggestions.

 

1. Will there be any issue in stamping considering I am working in a multi layer contract?

2. What are the chances of getting 221g?

3. If I change my emplyer to C (H1 transfer) in month of September, will I have any issue when I go to get visa stamped? 

4. If I move to another project with another client by September or October, will there be any issue during stamping?

 

Thanks,

H1 interview is always risk if you have layers between you and your employer.

1. Yes, possible.

2. Cannot be predicted.

3. If you have all documents you are fine.

4. If it is the same layer then you might end up with issue.

 

The issue with layers is the ability of employer to control you i.e. employer - employee relationship.

Find a better employer. Avoid multiple layers. That's nowadays a recipe for a denial.
