Good Consultant...

[tabletpc]

Guys,

Here is my story..

I am working on NOn-cap h1b for the past 3 years. Since its non-cap i cannot jumpt to any private company. WHen i took up the job with Non-cap h1b company i din't knew the draw back and jumped inoto this job. Now finidng a full time job in any company is difficult as they don't like to wait unitill oct for me to work for them as i need to get another caped h1b by aplying in april with start date of oct 2008.

Having heard lots of stories about the consulatnat sucking the blood of employees, i am kind of pessimistic on choosing the consultant. But i think its the only option for me. SO i am in the look out of a good consultant who could file for my H1b in april under MS quota and i can work for him in oct. Can anyone suggest me some good consultant...!!! Before its too late i need to get out of this trap of non-cap h1b.

Thanks in advance....

You may not be able to find such one. Because past H1Bs have already made the "few left over" good employers into "blood sucking mode". If you get such one, consider yourself as very LUCKY.

Get a good deal and get your status into "cap-H1B". Anyhow its not going to affect you or them, because you are just looking for someone who can help to move from Non-Cap to Cap. So it does not matter.

u gona like me ... here is the deal .. if you get ur H1 approved by a cap ( non Exempt) employer in April for FY starting in OCT u dont have to wait till OCt to start teh new caped H1 job .. as u are already havinga non cap H1 u can start right away in the Non cap h1 ( after approval) and after few pay stubs if u dont like ur employer just get another job ... search non cap (exempt) h1 to caped H1 n u will get ur answers ...
Hope this helps

OK i may have to elaborate little...

I did contact a consultant sometime in May 2007 and asked him to file a caped h1b for me with a start date of oct 2007. But he(his attornys) were kind of confused how to request a new h1b when i already have a h1b(non-cap). He was off the opinion that transfer from non-cap to cap is possible USCICS is linient on this. I tried to convicne him..but could not succeed. Since the time was running out..i asked him to apply however he wants but apply it ASAP. I knew the trasnfer would get rejected. Sinc ehe was paying for it..i prefered to let him do as he wishes. But to my surprise..the trasnfer got APPROVED with a start date of Aug 2007(not oct 2008). Aug 2007 was the start date mentioned in job offer letter.

But based on the survey and accordng my GC attorney, this approval is a mistake from USCICS. Now i am in a delema wheather to use it or not...???My GC attornye is not favourable to this .since she is the one who needs to fight for me later for immigration issues..i kind of pessimitic on using it. SO planning to get another H1b with a start date of oct 2008. So far my immigration records are clean..so kind of worried about using the caped h1b approval.

Any suggestions...!!!!
