Could you please answer below questions?

 

1> In that case can i work for more than 40 hrs a week? It would be 80 hrs a week.

2> Please let me know the fees details for amending the petition.

3> What happens if it is denied? Can i work for the current client?

4> Does it impact my GC process?

 

Your help in this regard is much appreciated..

1. You are planning to work 16 hrs per day? Yes, you can.

2. That is employer's concern.

3. Yes.

4. No.

How would you be able to work on the H1 level for 80 hours/week??? This is not burger-flipping.

It is mentally pretty much impossible to work 80 hours/week in jobs that require thinking and constant concentration.

When are you gonna sleep? When are you gonna eat?

60 hours/week is already pushing it.

Fees for amending an H1 are none of your concern. The employer has to pay that.

Looks like from above posts i can work...

So, you are faking the time sheets?

If you work 8 hours, you get paid 8 hours.
