Hi

I am masters student graduating in June 2011. I got an offer from a big company and it already started h1b premium processing(applied on Mar 31). Now, I received an offer from my dream company and I didn't mention about h1-b processing and want to work for this company. I have few questions and need your suggestions.

1. Reject the first company offer. Not sure if I have to pay, because they applied for H1-B premium processing. How much I have to pay in this case? Can I continue working on OPT in this case?

2. Inform the second company about the first company h1-b processing. What can second company do, if H1-B is already processed? What can second company do, if H1-B is not processed?

Please suggest if there are better ways to handle the situation.

-- How long does it take to get H1-B visa under premium processing, if applied in 65000 pool?

Thanks

Rakesh

Your OPT is independent.

Will Company B sponsor you.

Your liability to Company A will depend on your agreement with them.

Company B will sponsor me but I prefer to stay in OPT. With company A, the only agreement is accepting the offer.

The thing I forgot to mention is, even though H1B is accepted, the change of status will happen in October. Otherwise, I thought its easy to transfer.
