I was on H1B with a true blue American startup. They developed cold feet when it came closer to sponsoring Green Cards. To start with GC wage levels are much higher than H1B levels. Also close to 15K+ needs to be spent for processing+ years of patient follow up to USCIS queries&#x2F;denials and surprise site inspections. The new fangled startups won&#x27;t have the long term strategy&#x2F;planning to get me a green card. I had much better luck with a staffing vendor running an office off his basement. People misunderstand the H1B outsourcer lock-in. They hold people in through green card processes&#x2F;delays. Not through H1B itself. Google for Employment based GC delays for Indians and Chinese.
