I’m after going through 6 rounds of interviews with a tech company in the US, from the get go they were offering sponsorship and relocation package. However, when the offer call came in today, they’re saying they can’t offer visa sponsorship and want me to work in my own country for a year minimum then attempt an L1 visa (where relocation package will no longer be available). It means I’m going to be working ridiculous hours as the job and the team is all California based. Has anyone had issues like this before? Is there a workaround? #workvisa #h1b
How desperate are you?
It’s my dream job but the thought of doing long hours again (11pm meetings) is exhausting
It can’t be your dream job cos job location is a part of the job. I’d say stay with your current job if possible. Working odd hours will eventually drain you. I know it first hand.
No I’m currently in Ireland without any visa
how is your visa revoked if you never had it ?
Apologies - I meant the offer of visa sponsorship was revoked from the offer
You can give it a shot if you are from China or India. look at the brighter side.. L1 qualified for EB1 whereas EB2/3 wait is forever
L1 has nothing to do with eb1
I mistook him for US..
find another company. don't let those fuckers exploit you.
Reveal the secret company name Dumbledore.
What visa were you expecting, L1 seems like the only way unless you actually qualify for EB1 or O1
I was hoping for h1b
(As this is what was discussed with the recruiter)
Work two jobs one in daytime and other in night. Double profit. Bad idea but manageable and profitable.
Ask if they can provide relocation to Canada atleast. (if they have even a small team there, it should be doable )
How would I go about doing this? What visa should I ask for etc
First ask of thy have a team in Canada or anywhere else in Europe. Immigration to Canada is simpler , they might just agree to sponsor to Canada. Or may be Canadian immigration might allow u to pay for the visa unlike US. So explore those options
Do you have a visa already
