Let's say company A uses EIG/Fragomen and I have accepted an offer and they have initiated my h1b transfer. Now this really cool company B wants to interview me and they use EIG/fragomen as well. Company B sends me a questionnaire from their immigration lawfirm to analyze my stay in the country. . Will company A know if both company A and company B use the same lawfirm ?

  • No. Those firms cannot disclose client information just like that. If they do they'll be in big trouble.

      Almost, but there's a loophole. I was told by our immigration lawyer that he has a dual obligation (not his exact words). He has an obligation towards me, but he also has an obligation towards my employer as company lawyer. So if I tell him something that could impact the company adversely (e. G. I am planning to quit), he has an obligation to inform my employer.

      I don't know if something like this applies to OPs situation.

    • Yeah normally that double obligation could be a problem, but I don't think it applies to immigration/visa. They are in no position to decide whether someone trying to leave the company has adverse impact. The cases they will inform the company though is when your visa status change etc.
