Hello all,
I have done my Masters in USA . After my graduation I was working as a contractor via a USA Recruiting company directly. In general I have 2.5 yrs work in India before my Masters and total work exp after Masters going to 5 years. total. Now , one of my recruiting job was at university here. They offered me FTE . I was scared because of the lottery and the offer came 2 weeks before H1b i.e March . I was desperate for a contract. Couldn't get one and accepted my FTE from April 1st. Now, situation at the University is changing because of some reason and there might me a layoff coming in near future. They will put me on H1b from November as my 6 months is over by that time. Some of my friends got H1 in this year and some don't. My STEM expires June 2015. Based on this situation, should I go back to contract. I have one offer . University job pays very low compared to my experience. But I accepted the offer as no hassle H1 and job security. But I myself not sure if it will stay . Also,if I get layoff in H1b, I cannot transfer my H1 . That was also a big issue. What should I do? I am not sure what to do...I talked with lawyer at the University and she told me she cannot file H1 under normal quota.
