New H1B Memo – Valid/Invalid Employer Employee Relationship
- The New H-1B Memo is the talk of the H-1B Workers’ Town.
If you are planning to work for an IT consulting company, you have to look at many things, or else you are looking for trouble.
So, what kind of job is considered acceptable and unacceptable (problematic) to prove an employer – employee relationship?
Valid Employer – Employee Relationship
- Traditional Employment [Full time / Direct Employment]
- Temporary / Occasional Off-Site Employment
- Long-Term / Permanent Off-Site Employment
- Long Term Placement at a Third-Party Work Site
Invalid Employer – Employee Relationship
- Independent Contractors
- Self Employed Beneficiaries [H-1B Sponsored by self]
- Third-Party Placement – “Job-Shop” [Many H-1B workers will belong to this category]
My visa status is – Document production or Oath Ceremony
But my current consultant is not ready for stamping as his company are undergoing some changes. Can I transfer my current visa petition to any other employer?
Hi All, Any legal help can be appreciated here.
[CASE]
1. Employee working for a end Client 'C1' through the Level-1 preferred vendor 'A'
2. Employee transfers the H1B from preferred vendor 'A' to Level-2 vendor 'B' for a different end Client 'C2'.
3. Is it going to be a valid Employee-Employer relationship? Considering the fact that employee get salary more than the needed salary for H1B. USCIS approves this kind of H1B transfer?
Thanks in Advance.
What will happen if employer pays the h1b employee less (less than $49K) than agreed annual compensation(pay).
What will be the consequences while filling the tax return?
What happens if not monthly payed?
Please reply as soon as possible.
Thanks,
kris

Has anyone heard of DB Healthcare staffing?
My employer file the application for my H1-B extension. I finally got the receipt number from the employer. The status online said that the case was approved on Nov 25, 2009. But my employer hasn't received anything, being it email or paper.
My employer already request another email notice. Does anyone know how long it takes to get an email notice?
My employer mentioned something like they called the USCIS and was told that the case has been transfered to case resolution center. Does anyone know what that mean?
Thanks
BTW, my employer was using the premium service.
If I work with consultancy with 1 layer in between, is it valid Employer – Employee Relationship?
What is self employed beneficiaries [H1B sponsored byself]?
I thought only employer can filed my h1b.
From the Memo itself – For example, the H-1B employer is a fashion merchandising company that is owned by the H-1B employee. The H-1B employee is a fashion analyst. The H-1B employee is the sole operator, manager, and employee of the petitioning company/H-1B employer. The H-1B employee cannot be fired by the H-1B employer/company. There is no outside entity which can exercise control over the H-1B employee. The H-1B company has not provided evidence that the corporation, and not the H-1B employee herself, will be controlling her work.
Refer to Page5 and 6 of the actual memo.
