H1-B & Stamping

Hi:
I am a chemistry graduate student.

I concated a consultancy company (IT) who are ready to sponsor H1B but I have to work for Two Years with them.

My Questions:
---------------------------------
(1) I had an interview in a chemical/pharama and will know about the decision in two weeks and they are ready to sponsor H1 once I get selected and if there is quota left. (If not this year may be for next year they will do). So in this case \"Is it ok to get another H1\". If so... what happens with the company (IT) that i am getting H1-B now (since there is two years agreement).

(2) I am on OPT. The consultany people told me that I dont have to get stamping immediately for H1-B. Once I get H1-B... is there a grace period to get stamping or can I directly start working right after approval of H1-B.


please reply.. thanks in advance.

More than one employer can sponsor your H1.
When coming to 2 yrs agreeemnt, if u break that, u need to pay any thing?/anything else?

how much he is charging for H1?

if u apply for h1 with that guy,(with 2 yrs agreement), then u need to work with him for 2 yrs. even if u get the job in the direct company, ur payroll has to be run thru that consultancy company. I dont know ur direct company will agree for this.


You can work on ur H1 start date, even if u dont have stamping. As u are already in usa, no need to worry about stamping. But if u r going out of USA, with in ur I94 expiry date, then while coming back u need to go for stamping.
