Some of my friend mentioned they have to sign in offer letter to pay h1b / I140 money to employer if he leave before 4 yrs.
is it illegal employer asking money to pay for visa / green card processing?

  • You shady people are the root cause of huge backlog for India. You guys fill the queue with trash applications, denying other law abiding high skilled indians their rights.

    • Btw, mind sharing some info in EB 5, I am Indian.

      1. What’s the wait time?
      2. How much you had to spend in total?
      3. How risky is it?

      Thanks in advance man

      Hey sorry. Now the wait time for Indians in EB5 is almost 8-9 years. Too many indian applicants in the past couple of years. I spent 540k total including fees. It is risky for sure. But you can invest big relatively safe projects. I invested in Related Hudson Yards project. Just Google Hudson Yards, it's the largest private real estate Dev in the history of US. They are opening new skyscrappes every year.

    It is illegal for the employer to ask the employee for the application fees of H1 and I-140 and PERM. I-485 is your application and not the sponsor’s. The sponsor is not required to pay for 485. That being said, however, the employer can ask you to pay for lawyer fees. There’s no law that prohibits the sponsor from that. And lawyers charge quite a bit for H1 and especially GC.
