A US company just offered me a job and will apply for my H1B also. But they want me to work for them as a full-time employee in my current location before they get the visa approved. The pay is obviously less than what I would be getting in US. Should I accept the offer?
What if they don't issue H1B because they would be getting the work done a lot cheaper when I am here?
The pay is obviously less than what I will be getting in US. Should I accept the offer ?.
Why is it so obvious? They should pay you the same either way, unless you will be working less or being less productive.
Whether you should accept or not is really up to you.
What If they don't issue H1B because they would be getting the work done in alot cheaper when I am here.
What if you work and they don't pay? Do you trust them? And what's the worst that can happen? Worst case - you stay where you are and start looking for a new job. Can you handle it?
And one more thing, they say they can only apply for Visa in next Fiscal year i,e October because the Visa cap is closed, is it true ?
Yes, it is true. The next visa cap will be open next April, with start date of October 1st. They should probably apply on April 1st, since the demand is overwhelming.
This is not a bad way if possible. It may also open up the path to an L1 visa. If the employer is really good, if it is applicable to you, and if it makes sense w.r.t. the waiting time based on the country of birth, they can also already start the PERM EB2 Green card process.
