UK (PSW/OPT) --> UK (Tier2 general) - USA (H1B)

[great123]

Hi Guys,

I would appreciate your help if you can help me.

I came to UK 3 years back in 2008. Finished education and got Post Study Work (PSW is OPT in UK). Fortunately I got an offer during PSW and had been with that company till my PSW got expired. Now, I have been sponsored by the company Tier2 (General)[This is just like H1B in USA, you are tied up to a company and you would have not more than 15 days to evict country if your employee screws you]. In fact there are routes to settlement.

Now you might understand my situation. I am not happy in UK and would like to obtain a H1B and I have been looking for sponsor's. This is a bigger issue, but if I get a sponsor, can I apply H1B from UK or should I go back to India.

Simply its like this

India --> UK (Student) --> UK (PSW/OPT) --> UK (Tier2/Sponsor) --> USA H1B.

Appreciate your help soon.

Cheers

You need to find a company, who is willing to file petition for work sponsorship, then you need to apply for H1B providing that number of applications for H1B does not cross the annual limits (for india it's 65,000/year).Good Luck
