Money isn't the only cost associated with sponsoring an H1B - there's a time component as well. Since they're trying to spend money to save time....
- rglullis 16y agoYou're right, but there is a "premium-processing fee", it costs about $1000.00 and it brings down the approval process time down to 2-4 weeks from up to 6 months.
- anamax 16y agoI was unclear. I wasn't referring to the amount of time to get approval, but the amount of time that they'll have to spend doing an H1-B. Yes, they can hire someone to do (some of) that, but "now they have two problems". That said, adding 2-4 weeks to the hire cycle is another cost.
