Hi All,
Need suggestions.
My Fiancé got selected in H1B lottery this year and we have our marriage planned for October this year. His cctc is 16 LPA and my cctc is 30 LPA as a senior Devops engineer. He has got an offer of 119K USD (location Massachusetts). In case I wish to move I won’t be able to work on H4 visa.
I wish to know what are the options for me in case I wish to land on jobs. And which will be better MS or waiting for H4 EAD
Yoe: 8 years

Great salary he has received . You can ask your company to apply for l1 or h1b or you can pursue some course their

It depends.. from the company he is travelling are they gona file green card application? It will take approx 1 year from the green card application to get h4ead.. let's say company files that after 1 year then you have to wait for 2 years.. if you ask me my suggestion:
1. Doing MS there is costly.. you will end up spending too much money and then getting a job, h1 filing again is tedious.. if end job is to get job there then i prefer to wait for h4ead.. h4Ead gives better job and more salary now a days.
2. I was in similar situation around 7-8 years back. My spouse did not leave the job but worked in India and came to USA by taking 3-4 months leave.. you are in better situation as you have a good package so you yourself can save enough to travel to USA twice in a year. So better do for couple of years.
3. Meanwhile check with your company and get h1 from them.. if they are ready to file based on your current scenario then that is best

Additional Posts in H1B Visa Discussion

Got H1B lottery picked up last year (2021). Now I have an approved petition. But I am not holding visa.

In this situation - can I able to switch company? Can I able to change the petitioner(new employer) in this approved petition?

Hi All, currently Visa is approved, stamping is yet to be done... But the package is 60k only and I heard from colleagues who are already there, that this is not sufficient... I am working at a package of 12 LPA in India, and I think switching is the best option rather than going to US. Need your opinion please
