Opportunity for H4 visa holders

Anitha

I dont know how many companies or people would really be engaged in such situations....am sure if the Immigration dept finds this out..both the company and the consultant will be black listed...I have never heard anyone doing this....

Yes i have heard H4 people working from home like home recruiters (free lancing) for the consulting companies to hire consultants or place consultants and getting % or fixed amount per consultant they refered ...this is paid like a volunteer effort..however I dont know in this case also how the taxes are paid or deducted or sometimes taxes are not paid at all...which didnt really effect anyone...just like baby sitting or catering from home...done by H4 working women...

 

This is a good idea, but when it comes to risk factor we really cant relay on anything. On the other side we see that both are benefited. The person gets the H1B visa and the employer or the consulting company makes money.
If we are ready to take the risk i think this is a good option.

I think there are very few consultants who take risk and just might be lucky enough to get placed in such a consultancy.

Even i am looking out for options to keep myself occupied and to get start working.

Cheerss!!!!

I am pretty sure that, at the present situation, none of the desi consultants are encouraging any kind of employment like you have mentioned.
What you have mentioned has happened in 2006 which was a BOOM period. Many desi companies were in need of skilled and low-paid employees at that period. Even if they are not skilled, the companies had provided career training and made the employees work.
Now, in 2009, Most of the desi companies are not even willing to sponsor for H1B. So forget about any shady employment. It will definitely cause a big problem.

Pandu,

Its not the question of who gets lucky .
Currently, I do not know any consultant ready to file for H1B since its already too late. However, USCIS is still accepting for H1B filling. So, you can enquire around. But before you proceed with any company, do a proper research about that company. Since, I've heard that so many consultants are getting the money and not filling the H1 at all. Hence, EOD we miss out our money as well as we dont get our H1B. Be CAUTIOUS in what you do.

Good luck on your search and keep updating. It helps for others who are in search.

Hey girls,

I am also on H4 visa and I was working for the Indian Embassy in Washington DC. There is no paper work and they also pay you like 1000$ a month. The job is basically admin related. You can call them and ask for upcoming job opportunities. I was bored to death so I didn mind working there.

At the end of the day you get to earn your own money as well as roam arnd DC!!:cheers

Ciao
