| H1B transfers are easy. You aren't beholden to an employer. |

| I've had three different H1Bs. Yes, transfers are easy, but they're sure a hell more risky than staying at your current job and enduring whatever you have to. You're not beholden to your employer, but you have borderline coercive reasons to stay. |

| You have 60 days to find a new job or get deported. It's a pretty strong lever. |

| ▲ | square_usual 13 hours ago | parent [-] | | How is that related to a transfer? If you have a job on an H1b, you can get another job and switch to it any time with a transfer. | | |

| It is unbelievable the kind of misinformation that is spread about immigrants. Thanks for pointing that out |
