I’ve seen employers unwilling to hire when there s relatively less time left on your H1. Does having an approved an i140 (altho u hv less time on current visa) change anything?Any exp to share?

Initial calls that are scheduled with recruiters, who aren't as knowledgeable about immigration, focus only on the fact that there's "just 6 months" on your visa. They know the basics of H1 vs L1 vs F1 but not much beyond that scope. I think we ought to help ourselves by explaining what I-140 is, why is it beneficial, how does it affect H1 etc.

All that said, I have had a fair number who said we aren't hiring H1s. A few of these were a great fit but slipped out of my hand. Just gotta keep pushing, that's all we can do till we get that GC.
