      You can find a new employer and they can file a cap-exempt H-1 petition for you. Once approved, you can travel to US to work for new employer.

  9. Recently I came to US. I want to know how to get conversion of H4 visa to H1 visa. How and when to initiate the things.

    • Bhanu,

      You have to wait till the 2014 quota begins which is going to be in April2013, In the mean time search for a good employer who is ready to sponsor you the H1. If you get the H1 in the next yrs quota then you are eligible to work from October 2013.
      Hope this clarifies your doubt

  12. Hi Saurab,

    Thank You for the Reply.
    Iam looking in and around my location. More over many of the opportunities over here are looking for GC/EAD holders with some US Experience and not the other Visas with short term validity. Till now i worked only in mainframe Manual Testing.

    Automation is good enough or do i really need to change my technology through some training sessions.Again to attend any training it is very costly here. If so, could you please tell me right one.

    • Manasa,
      As you have location constraint, it’s better to see what openings are available around your current location. Once you know the companies, you can know about the skill set requirements and start working towards filling those gaps.

  13. Hi Kumar,

    I have just followed the above method to find the H1 B sponsers and i sent my resume to few employers. But am not getting any reply from them.

    I have Mainframe Manual testing experience in India and currently am on L2 EAD. I heard that the opportunities and rate for testing jobs in USA are very less. So am confused here whether i need to learn new technology and start again or to continue in the same testing field.

    Please suggest.

    Reply
    • Manasa,
      Are you applying for specific positions that match your skillset or you applying in general? There are positions open for testing, however lot of companies prefer the candidate to have some sort of programming background and manual testers are not that much in demand (plus like you said salary is low). I would suggest brushing up your automation skills. Also, are you constrained by the area you are looking for (as you are on L-2, I assume you will be targeting companies in and around your current location)?

  16. Guys , i am really new in this world and really dont know anything about jobs in other countries but suddenly a thought came in my mind and started to find out the ways to have jobs in USA ,CANADA,Australia and Singapore.

    I have done B.tech in EC as well as MBA from IMT GZBD from DLP and doing job in Sales hence can anyone guide me about first step to have job in above mentioned countries?

    • Well, I can only advise on jobs in USA… You need H1B visa to work in USA. You need to find a company that can hire you for a job and sponsor you H1B visa to work in US. Though the process seems very simple, it is very challenging to find a company that can do for you. Talk to friends and colleagues to explore options about companies that can do H1B visa sponsorship for you.

      • Well, of course not yours. You’re ABSOLUTELY perfect. I’m talking about the other guy.

        You know what they say…

        People who can’t speak English fluently & properly, and whatever they speak, it’s abhorrently wrong, communicating with others in US is going to be EXTREMELY difficult for them..

        People are REQUIRED to learn how to speak clear & proper English before they enter US.

        Ain’t I right?

        Reply
        • Thanks for clarifying 🙂 English is very important to succeed in US. Let us not start a fight here…If English is not our mother tongue, it takes time to learn.
          To answer ‘English required ?’ – Well, yes and no. People in US care about your technical skills and work ethic. English is not as important as your skill, but it is needed to succeed, otherwise you cannot grow in your career …

          Reply
          • Yeah! Agree with that. But still one should be aware of the fact that English is the official language in USA. You can’t get to work in a big reputed company if your English is not perfect.

            Skill is of first importance, then comes English.

            BTW, I love your articles & how you give other so much information about US.

            Keep it up.

          • Wrong… English is NOT the Official Language of the United States of America. As a matter of fact, the US Constitution does not declare one language official over another. For what we care, though, you should be able to write and speak clearly. Poor grammar just reflect a poor sloppy professional attitude. If you aren’t sure about how to write something, ask or use online dictionaries. After all, that’s what they are for, right?

  17. thanks for your replay,this time most of consultacys not ready to file H1B…why it is like that??bcz of new memo??

    How many days it will take to finsih this 2010-11 h1b quota??
