Hi all,
This is my first post.
I am on H4 . Am a SCJP with very lttle exp in Java. Been in the US(utah) for about a year. Have been looking for a job with no luck.The bigger problem is that I need someone to sponsor my H1!
Can someone suggest something? Do I take up a course at a Univ so that i can atleast work as a student?
Thanks in advance
I do not want to discourage you, but here is the reality: Companies are not hiring H1B's any more since there are millions of Americans are out of job; the labor department is virtually eliminating H1B project since a comapany has to prove that they can only hire a foreigner because no American has the qualifications: this is not the case now, you can see from this board; there are tons of new graduates with Masters degree in CS/CE/EE who cannot find any job since most of jobs require experiences; and there are many people with at least one certificate on the market; one recruiter told me there are often several hundred people applying for one job. Now, only experince counts. And you have to depend on the upswing of the job market. This is like 10 years ago when US was hit hard by a recession.
