In US on L1, on pursuit of Cap-exempt H1b filing

[vanka56]

Hello,

 

I had a consultation call with one of the Murthy's senior attorney and clarified the feasibility of filing a CAP-Exempt H1B(it was approved in 2008, not used, no I-797 documents). Suddenly the employer who was interested in filing has suddenly withdrawn and no clear explanation from them for withdrawing.

 

Samething happened with lot of employers, Since i am on L1B, i believe they are reluctatant to do because i cannot work only on approval(not on receipt) and also there is a elongated timeframe associated with my joining date(say 2 weeks for filing and 2 weeks for my notice period. i cannot put down the papers immediately agter filing since my L1 may get cancelled).

 

I really dont now how to convince them. Is ther a forum/platform wherein i can find employers,convince them and let him file a CAP-Exempt H1 ir does Muthy can suggest some employers. Please advise. Thanks in advance!!

Look for good employers, not consulting companies.

Good companies know that people can't start tomorrow. If a company wants you, they won't have a problem to wait for a few weeks.

Hi joeF,

 

May sound easy, it's really difficult to find a company to a consulting company. :) All major employers will agian depend on consulting companies when it comes to hiring. right?
