I recently read that the H1B's quota for this year has been exhausted in August itself. Does that mean that if I wish to work in the USA for a US company, it is not possible till Oct 06 when the new H1B quota re-opens? BTW, I am a naturalised UK citizen.
Alternatively, can I get a B1 visa to work for this company (and more importantly get paid as well?) and keep shuttling back and forth based on the visa validity till the next year H1B starts off? Or is there any other alternative visa (like E1/E2...anything?)
The US company is a SME and is not a MNC; has ops only in the USA currently but the position is a fairly senior one, as an executive in the company.
Any advise / inputs / suggestions on if any of this is possible or shud I just forget the US for the time being?
Silicon Valley still beckons
unless the whole thing is not possible!cheers,
