Hi Fishes,

Could you please help me with with below scenario :
My YOE is 4.3 and ctc is 13 lpa. I am currently nominated for H1B 2023 and my petition is pending with USCIS for approval after lottery. I have heard H1B process could take months to complete. Should I waiting for the H1B or make a swtich? Is it worth waiting for H1B and how much saving one can make per month if traveling to US?

Kindly share your thoughts

Getting picked in a lottery itself is a big thing. You are lucky, so wait for months. It won’t take a year

Thanks

Its a big deal .....stay there untill you reach US....once you get there then you have plenty of options like you can switch and transfer H1B to new employer....
Also payscale mostly depends upon what is yoe and what designation you are going with....US is very much different from India in terms of pay grades...All the best!!!

Thanks
Can you please give more details about transferring H1B to new employer?
How does it work and will it impact my career?

Infosys will not pay much at on-site, not sure you are in which role TA or TL. Also there will be no promotions, hikes at on-site. If you are ready to switch at on-site then you can stick on otherwise there will be no benefit other than US exposure. Also till the time of stamping there are many stages involved at Infosys, even with approved petition they might not send if there is no suitable role. Many aspects are involved so just think wisely and make a decision

I think then I will have to wait till stamping in that case
