H1B Transfer : FAQ

The amount of time it takes to get a greencard has increasing dramatically, unfairly, only, for Indians. What used to take 2-3 years, may now take as much as 6 years or more, to get a greencard. That means, for 6-8yrs H1b visas from India will be working for wages far below, what the H1b Visas from other countries, including Pakistan, who will get their greencard in 1-2yrs.

We see a great need, in this market, in helping the H1b transfers to make prevailing wages. At the end of the day, no one wants to get under-paid for long.


Who is eligible to apply for jobs at NRISoft?

Citizen/Greencard faq: We hire US citizen and permanent residents. You may see a 20% improvement on your W-2, because of our low mark-up, 8-10% (instead of 33%, for most staffing companies). We need your help us so we can fight against the largest eight of ten low paying h1b bodyshops which are actually sweat hops based in India.

NRISoft is an equal opportunity employer*. H1B Transfer of IT professionals, to our company, find our services most useful because of the gross inequity of pay of H1 visa workers vs citizen/greencard holders.

Many, who's H1B Transfer to NRIS may see a 100% increase in pay, compared to the largest Indian bodyshops (aka sweatshops of India), operating in the United States.

If I am on a H1, H1b transfer, from my present employer required?

Yes. H1b transfer takes about 3 to 6 weeks. Please read the rest of the faqs.

How can someone with H1b visa get paid market wages, without a greencard? You got to be joking!

You, as a professional market yourself (we can assist, if you need), as if you have a greencard, by posting your resume on DICE, Monster.com, etc., You get paid what you are worth minus 8-10% for actual costs and management of NRISoft.

Why is NRISoft so generous?

We at NRISoft, do not consider ourselves generous. We just happen to think that the big 8 bodyshops are just unfair. For example, you spend 4 yrs at an IIT. They pay you $80,000/yr, if you are lucky or ($40/hr). They bill you at $100/hr. Is that fair?

(Or perhaps we dont know how to do business, like one manger of 100 h1b workers posted on h1b forum)

US citizen/greencard: Most US owned recruiting agencies, mark you up 33%-50% and place you with the clients. If they are paying you $60/hr, they are billing you at $90. If you think that's unfair, you give us a call. Our mark up is a fair 8-10%.

If you, are a manager of a company, in charge of hiring, and tired of your recruiters ripping you off, please get in touch with us. Remember that NRISoft consultants are more apt to get on your project and stay on the project, because they are getting better pay through us, than by any other staffing company/or big 8 bodyshops.

NRISoft at War with Sweatshops?

Eight of the top ten bodyshops in the USA are actually owned by multi-billion dollar sweatshops based in India, who put their employees to work for about 15 hours a day 6 days a week (in India). They sponsored over 23,056 H1b visas last year. These big name low quality companies are responsible for abuse of H1b Visa program. H1B transfer of the employees from these companies, will put an end to their working for slave wages.

H1 transfer -your visa to NRI, if you have a H1b. We hope you will make the right decision to get paid what you are really worth, based on the wages in America and not in India or elsewhere.

NRISoft pays H1B transfer, the same as the greencard/citizen.

When I "H1b transfer" to NRISoft, can't my sponsor find out?

No. Their is no way for your sponsor/employer to find out, unless you tell them. After the H1B transfer, you, can fire them!

H1B transfer to NRI will expedite my greencard processing?

H1B transfer to our company, because we file for your greencard asap. Unlike these other notorious companies, we do not practice any delay tactics, that they employ for obvious reasons.

If- your current greencard sponsor is not paying you prevailing wages, labor certification may get turned down. As you know, about 45% of the labor certifications get audited and expected to go higher to 60%. Thats a 6-9 months of delay right there.

If you are under-paid by your employer, immigration can demote your status from an EB2 to EB3. Which means an extra 2 yrs of waiting for your greencard.
