H1 Visa

14 years ago By Chief Editor

Question details

I have come to US through my company with my L1 Visa. I am currently working with my client. There is an agreement between my company and my client not to hire my company employees within 6 months after quitting. I cannot move to any other company here in US as i am on L1. My company is not willing to file H1 either. If I have to move to a different company I should have a H1 Visa filed.
Recently my client offered me to join their company, but I don't have my H1 and i cannot join my client company even if i get my H1 because of the 6 months restriction. What are the different options to join my client.

This seems to be an issue of contract only. Immigration law does not stop you from changing.

I received my labor approval in just 2 months this Aug. I am happy that I went with Mr. Rajiv S.Khanna for labor certification. I must mention here that the paperwork done here has been perfect and I had no RFE's and I am confident that with such perfection & highly skilled team they will be able to get my Green Card much faster & with no RFE's. I found the staff in his office in general and with a special mention of Mr.Vijay Durgam and Mathew Chacko very co-operative. Mr.Vijay thank you for your timely replies and detail explaination for all my questions . Thanks to Rajiv shaab and his staff for making people like me happy.I will definetly tell people who are looking for GC to choose Mr.Rajivs firm because they are the best !!!!!!!
