IT Contractor vs full-time Employee (in relation with H1-B and Green Card).
IT Contractor vs full-time Employee (in relation with H1-B and Green Card).
Hi folks,
I am F-1 visa holder and I am studying Masters in Computer Science and I will be out for CPT after 6 months (I also have a 2 years of experience back in home country). As you know, for international students, having a Green card in US will make your life easier. So I am planning a way to get a Green or at least H1-B as quick as possible.
One lawyer told me that if I get a contract with one IT company (either by myself or through agencies), there are some other H1-B holder companies who can take up to 30% of my salary and process (sponsor) either H1-B or Green card within two years. Is that true and legal?
Please advice or guide me the best options that will help me to get the process started as soon as possible. What is the advantage and disadvantage of processing this way?
I also heard that, if I get a full time job, there might be a chance of getting H-1 B sponsored by the company. But, the company may delay your process (even for 6 years), or they may fire you at any time, and they may even lower your salary. I don’t want to take this all risks. But, I would rather take a contract and deal with all of its risks, because the rewards might be quick and satisfying.
Thank you.
