We are very impressed with your skills.
As you already know, getting an IT specialist from outside USA is a very expensive operation - timewise and moneywise for companies in the USA. Hence, at this point we are dealing with senior applicants who
1. Can pay their H1B visa expenses -- fully refundable after joining P***l
2. Can stay with their relatives/friends in the USA till we find them a job
3. Can pay their one way economy flight ticket and health insurance till they get a job -- refundable
H1B, economy flight ticket for yourself is refundable monthly in 10 installment parts after you join us with a job.
