who pays for H1B and green card petition?

[ConfusedHusband]

Hi!

I am just wondering... By law, who is responsible to pay for the H1B and green card petition? Is the employer or the employee?

Thanks!

No.

The employer ...

... though can recover some costs incurred if they spent money to file for your H1B and you chose not to work for the said employer.

If you have signed any specific contract, then it remains binding.

Good luck.
