Question:
Thanks for setting up a website for phd’s looking to get Green Cards.
I don’t have a doctorate degree; however, I do have two Master’s, including an MBA from a US university.
Would you be able to direct me to any online resources that assist H1-B visa holders such as myself in finding employers who pick up H1-B transfers.
The process is certainly daunting. I wouldn’t be writing this email if I had options. I have contacted lawyers. So I understand the legal aspects. My challenge is finding sponsor-friendly employers given my skill set.
Any guidance is apprecaited.
Thanks
Answer:
Sorry we are not familiar with H1-B transfers to answer your question.

Applicable to: H1B applicants
WASHINGTON—U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today announced an updated number of filings for H-1B petitions for the fiscal year 2010 program.
USCIS has received approximately 44,000 H-1B petitions counting toward the Congressionally-mandated 65,000 cap. The agency continues to accept petitions subject to the general cap.
Additionally, the agency has received approximately 20,000 petitions for aliens with advanced degrees; however, we continue to accept advanced degree petitions since experience has shown that not all petitions received are approvable. Congress mandated that the first 20,000 of these types of petitions are exempt from any fiscal year cap on available H-1B visas.
For cases filed for premium processing during the initial five-day filing window, the 15-day premium processing period began April 7. For cases filed for premium processing after the filing window, the premium processing period begins on the date USCIS takes physical possession of the petition.
USCIS will provide regular updates on the processing of FY2010 H-1B petitions. The updates can be found on the USCIS’ Web site at www.uscis.gov/h-1b_count.
