Often times, Foreign Workers, work at the overseas/offshore offices, under the promise from the US Employer or their foreign counterparts, that an H-1B will be filed for them if they work for a certain amount of time.

Over the last several years, I have often heard several employees complain that employer is refusing to share the H-1B receipt notice, or refusing to provide any information that confirms that their H-1B was filed during H-1B Quota.įoreign Workers are often left wondering if their employer filed an H-1B for them at all ! Thanks to the system, where most of the laws are influenced by the lobby groups and where H-1B workers are left without a real and powerful lobby group raising their issues! As an immigrant myself, and having gone through this process, I have felt along the way that US Immigration laws and regulations are structured in a way that “MOST, if not all” the powers to control the immigration process are allocated to the US Employer (Petitioner), without any provision for direct participation by employee/foreign worker. Under the current US immigration regulations, an H-1B can only be filed by a US Employer (referred to as Petitioner) or by his authorized Immigration Attorney, on behalf of a foreign employee (also referred to as H-1B Beneficiary).
