I got an offer from facebook mpk and applied for H1B visa (currently not working in US). What are the options available if I fail to get picked in H1B lottery ? Does facebook reject the offer or will relocate to another country. Does facebook have separate quota for H1B lottery? Guys please provide your inputs, really looking forward to get some help here. Edit TC: 355k
Why would Facebook have a separate quota for H1B? That logic makes no sense. Facebook is not above the immigration law. Anyway. You will probably get a better and clearer answer if you ask your facebook recruiter. Ask that question here, you should expect to get trolled.
You get access to cobalt where you can post your questions and get clarifications from the immigration attorney who is handling your case.
Just had a thought if employers have any specific quota for H1B but seems like the answer is NO. I will ask the recruiter but wanted to know if anyone faced this situation among the blind users.
If they apply h1b for you OP, you would be usually put in the general lottery along with the others. I'm not sure about the timeline though, because you get to apply h1b in april every year for a for-profit employer. Unless it is a request for change of employer on an existing h1b.
Got it. Thanks for the clarification.
Anyone faced H1B rejection? Do Facebook retract the offer in such case or will apply for H1B again ?
Probably Vancouver
Have you seen facebook giving vancouver offer to anyone ?
Talk to your recruiter, but yes, getting placed in an alternate country is one of the options Facebook has.
Is the alternate option subject to any conditions ? Or will facebook will definitely try another country in case H1B rejected ?
It all depends on your background, your interview and how much facebook wants you. If they want you enough they can certainly place you in a different country. I would say just go through the process and see what happens.
Does anyone know what percentage are rejections in H1B among those applying from Facebook ?
Update in your post, it's a blind rule..if you are new here u should know the term "tc or gtfo"
Facebook has a separate quota ? Lol get off your high horse.
I will share the truth. The visa can be denied. If it is, you will have no options to change that decision. If you do get a visa, the visa you are applying for is temporary. You can expect to be asked to leave the country if you loose your job or quit. Your employer can fire you for any reason or no reason at all. Nobody has an interest in helping you keep your job. In fact many people would gladly see you released so they can have your job. Especially college graduates. Job security does not exist. Now you know the truth. Peace.
What if the visa is denied , does facebook gives offer in other country like london where the visa approval chances are more ?
There is no reason for Facebook teams in another country to do this. You can expect your Facebook job offer to be contingent on your visa status for that specific job. Your recruiter may have a different answer.
