Hi saurabh,
I know this sponsor and ready to file my h1 visa but a clause in offer letter says a huge bond money of usd 15000 if i back out or leave org in within 12 months.
this org is founded lately ,3 yrs before .holds less records of visa filed.hardly 15 till date.i know few employees who got their visa through this employer.
on the other hand,there is small consultant who is filing my h1 but had to pay h1 fees myself which will refunded after a year.if denied no money return.this employer holds fair record for visa ,hardly any rejections in last three year.
please suggest with which employer i shud go ,employer a or b.
I would go with option A. Although a bond of any amount is illegal by US labor law, the demand and warning tells me that employer is serious about bringing you in, has invested in resources and wants to see you connected with them for 12 months. 15 visas in 3 years is not a bad number, they must be good at what they do and thorough with their work. Option B seems to be light on their own investment, it is a risk free operation for them but you risk a denial if proper legal support is not backing the company. I vote for A :)) despite the bond issue. It also tells me that you have a very unique set of skills, highly marketable and very high in demand.
All the best
