Hoping to receive offer from intuit as well as a Series E startup(profitable)

The startup is paying more money compared to Intuit but Intuit has presence worldwide and the startup only has an office in India outside US.

The startup hasn’t filed that many H1b visas but they are open to file next year whereas Intuit has a lot of experience with H1b filings. As H1b is totally luck - is it better to just join a company that offers more money or should I still go ahead with Intuit because of immigration concerns.

Still have a couple attempts left at H1b but thinking about the worst case scenario I want to make sure I choose a company that can support me through H1b drama.

Intuit folks - how has been your experience with immigration at Intuit?

    Intuit has a great immigration team for what it’s worth.

    Company doesn’t do H1b, the law firm does it. Just check which law firm the startup works with and you’ll be fine

  • How many attempts for H1-b do you have left? Intuit has international presence. In case your H1-b doesn’t get picked up, Intuit can transfer you to more friendly location like Canada. Check that with the startup as to what option they have in case you do not get picked up.

    As long as the startup has a good company for their legal applications you’ll be fine. They’ll instruct and guide what you and the company need to do to apply on time with the necessary documents.

    (My story)
    Fresh grad, moved to New Mexico to work for a startup (have presence in Cali, but only marketing folks, all devs based out of NM), had a good company handling their legal stuff, and got my H1B picked first round (2017). Since then moved to Cali (2019), got my i140 done (2020) - no issues.
    Might want to talk to your startup rec / legal team to understand who (which company) is their “external legal counsel”.
