First time Transferring and sponsoring H1B for my employee

[dotmatrix]

I am planning to hire a Foreign person (X) and Sponsor his H1B visa. X will be my first employee.

Please tell me what is the cost, process and requirements for sponsoring H1B visa.

X is already having H1B visa, he needs to transfer visa to my consultancy.

What factors do i need to consider as a startup company and first time visa sponsoring.(I started this consulting company less than an year back).

What care do I need to take for not getting any denials from Visa Consular.

Any web references & direct answers are appreciated.

You need to show that your company is able to pay the salary for the person, even if the person doesn't have a project.

Since you don't seem to know much about this, I suggest you consult with a good immigration lawyer.

First & Import thing is, you HAVE TO HAVE valid contract for new employee with your client.
