Hello All, Like most of the sofware engineers out there even i had a dream of working for a company in USA .So after having a work experience of around a year a i started to search for companies willing to hire me and therefor file a petition on my behalf.I gave a telephonic interview for a whole bunch of body shopping companies and so called consultancy companies and cleared all of them. Most of these body shopping companies ask for a caution deposit of some amount i am sure all of you would be aware of that so the challenge was to find out a company who would not ask for any such deposit that would mean the company is good enough that ,was my way of looking at a company .Ofcourse i did go and google about the company. Finally i decided to go with a company by the name of AIM COMPUTER CONSULTING located in Livonia Michigan. http://www.aim-cc.com/ . These people they didnt ask for any deposit and filed my papers .I was lucky enough to get through the lottery and finally got an approval around may 2007. I got all the paperwork from AIM-CC around august and finally booked a visa interview appointment on 5th oct. This company did not send their tax returns and had prepared a completely bogus inhouse project .When i requested them to send the tax returns and unemployment wage report they replied saying that these cannot be sent at this stage they will only be sent whey you get a query(221g). So when i appeared for the interview i got blue 221g asking for additional documents from my petitioner.Although i was asked to submit just 4 documents from my petitioner these people stopped replying to my email and phone calls too. Finally i decided to find out if h1b transfer from india is possible even after getting 221g and the answer to that is 'YES' h1b can be transferred to a new company and if the transfer is filed in premium processing the entire process takes hardly ten days to get a new approval.Since we already have a valid h1b approval the new petition can be filed anytime and we are not subject to cap.My new company filed my h1b transfer in the first week of dec i got my approval around second week of december .Even before receiving my documents through FedEx i booked my appointment on 31st december and got my visa .
