100% of SV companies sponsor H1 visas. And there are no tight timelines or anything. Sometimes you can run into an RFE that can delay your approval. But RFEs for software engineering are fairly rare
- toomuchtodo 7y agoIf you cannot find another job, and quit your current job, is your visa terminated and you’re possibly deported if on an H1B? And your employer possibly requires you reimburse them for all sponsorship fees?

- belltaco 7y agoThat 60 day grace period can be used only once per 3 years.
- triceratops 7y agoHence the use of the phrase "1-time" in my comment.
- belltaco 7y agoIf you lose your job for any reason, you're accruing unlawful stay from the next day. Obama admin during their lame duck days introduced a one time grace period(within 3 years) of 60 days. If you lose that new job, you're supposed to leave immediately. However, immigration officers usually waive minor periods of unlawful stay before filing for a transfer, how many days is a matter of your luck. >And your employer possibly requires you reimburse them for all sponsorship fees This is pretty illegal and even the shady body shops never do this. Also the law states that that company has to reimburse the employee for the return tickets.
