do you now OR WILL YOU IN THE FUTURE require sponsorship for a work visa....?
do you now OR WILL YOU IN THE FUTURE require sponsorship for a work visa in order to be able to accept employment in the US?
Someone please explain this. I have a valid H-1B visa through my employer. I am searching job right now and I don't know what to respond to this. Should I respond No, since I already have a valid work visa?
What job types can I apply for? Eg.: Contract to contract, temporary/contract/project
Also can you explain the job types I can apply for? I know i should not apply for contract to hire, full time, direct hire, contract independent, w2, 1099.
I applied for a position with job type fulltime, temporary/contract/project. But I got rejected saying that I cant work since the employer is not ready to sponsor me. I couldn understand why should he sponsor me for H-1B when i already have one.
@Foofa: LOL... Thats just my name which I choose several years ago... Guess now it is time to change my nickname in Y!A :D

the answer is clearly yes. you don't have general permission to work anywhere you want in the US. you only have permission to work for your current employer. so, if someone else wants you,. they'll have to file a petition for you through USCIS first.

See my answer here: http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aq...
It says that, if you leave you current employer, you will most likely need new sponsorship.
