H1 is bad but if the visa is L1 this situation is worse. You don’t even have the option to switch employers.

- foogazi 7y agoBut it’s a different intent visa. L1 is for workers of multinationals being brought to the US for a specific period of time. You were already employed in a foreign country and get transferred to the US division
- HarryHirsch 7y agoNo one cares about intent. The outcome is the same for both types of visa: a warm body working a job for the company and wage depression because the employee cannot switch. Where is the revolution?
- inerte 7y agoI know that, since I came to the US on a L1 visa. I am saying our Indian friend could be on a L1 visa, which makes negotiating for a higher salary more scarier.
- rk06 7y ago"the specified period of time" can be upto 3 years and can be extended for 3 more years. It is significant enough to make a difference. I have a colleague on L1 visa in US. His visa is from Capgemini and so, he can't even change project due to Visa restrictions
