Contract Job over FUll time

[Senthil1987]

Hi Everyone,

Currently I am working in USA for India MNC as a full time job (I have spent almost 3 years so far in H1b).My visa is approved till Jun 2022.

I have got new offer for contract Job with small consultancy for Finance client.

This is first time , I am choosing contract job.

I spent 1500$ for premium and petition approve for H1b transfer. I dont wanna go contract job because I spent 1500$.

Can I prefer this  contract job over full time at this corona virus situation? will there be risk?

Please advice.

At this time still you can join new employer but H1B processing will take lot of time. There is no one stopping you do it.

Consultant options has both pros and cons. You need to take your personal decision.

Risk is always present for each and every petition. It depends on your profile and company.

You are not allowed to pay for an H1 (only PP can be paid by the employee.)

That consulting company is a fraud if they asked you to pay for the H1. Stay away from them and file a complaint with DOL on form WH4.

And for the future, NEVER NEVER NEVER pay for an H1. A job pays you, not the other way around.
