Madddy Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 I am currently working for profit company on h1b visa . I have a job offer from not for profit company. I have used 2.5 years of my first term of h1b visa . I want to know if I accept an offer from them (not for profit and non profit are different as per my employer)and transfer my h1b, then how does it affect any future job opportunities in terms of transferring my h1b to Profit organization. For example if I work for 2 years with not for profit org , and if I want to transfer my h1b from them to again a for profit organization , then could I easily do that ? 2 ) Would I be counted under h1b cap again ? 3 ) Since h1b visa could be renewed for total of 6 years before filing green card , then would 2 years at current for profit and 2 years at not for profit would be applied towards 6 years of h1b visa term ? Please help. Looking for suggestions. Link to comment
JoeF Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Once you have been counted for the quota, you can change between for-profit and cap-exempt institutions (not all non-profits are cap-exempt) freely. Link to comment
TRC2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Hi JoeF, I was searching for questions on moving from profit to non-profit / not-for-profit organization. Please clarify me in more detail of your earlier answer. "Once you have been counted for the quota, you can change between for-profit and cap-exempt institutions (not all non-profits are cap-exempt) freely." I am thinking that, if the H1b which is sponsored "very initial / Originally" by a profit organization, then the H1 is treated as counted towards quota as well as called cap-exempt H1. Is that my understanding true? Link to comment
