Hi All,
I am working full time in an MNC but the company is not ready to start my GC and I have only 2 years left on H1B. I am seriously considering contracting so that I can get GC started. I have few questions and will really appreciate a response from senior members (preferably those who have made a successful transition from FT to Contracting) :
1. With the new H1B memo, is it possible to get more than one year extension if the purchase order is of only one year?
2. Is there any way to guarantee 2 years extension (only 2 yrs left in my H1), if the client letter says something like, “the project may be extended beyond 12 months”?
3. Is any gig with more than one layer (or even one layer) between client and my employer a red flag for H1B transfer? For example- Can the chain below result in RFEs
My employer--->Vendor A--->Vendor B --->Vendor C--->Direct Client
Thank you very much for your time.
Regards
