yes, it is Firstly, the whole 60 days thing is NONSENSE Your status ends ASAP. The day your job is ended Secondly, getting H1B transferred is not automatic.

yes, it is Firstly, the whole 60 days thing is NONSENSE Your status ends ASAP. The day your job is ended Secondly, getting H1B transferred is not automatic. You have to get lawyers and have to get it approved Thirdly, now with so much talk of H1B being ended, and slow approvals, who will take the chance Fourthly, most H1B are India and China. Both countries' tech firms and countries in general are being attacked by US Government as 'taking US jobs' etc So all those H1Bs are particularly worried H1B is basically bonded labor everyone fixates on - you are taking US jobs and bad mouths them they are coming here (to the West) to get a good life for themselves If they do anything that their employer doesn't like, they are screwed and must go back to their home country and give up on their American Dream * To give you an idea of how crazy it is, I got a 44% salary increase when switching jobs (H1B to H1B) That's life as an H1B. You are usually being paid 40% to 60% less than comparable skilled Americans * It is a system set up to HEAVILY FAVOR companies. That's why FB, Goog, Etc are screaming about 'competitiveness' . What they really want is underpaid, trapped, bonded labor who have no choice when it comes to where they work With extra long H1B and Green Card approval, they are getting 22 to 28 year olds who will have to work for them for 10 to 14 years (if India or China) What company wouldn't want such amazing terms for hiring people
