H1B Visa Transfer anyone?
Here is an unedited interview of NRISoft, by the editor of Australian online magazine,
TechGoss.com
1) What does NRISOFT plan to do what is not already being done by other employment agencies?
NRISoft:
In The US: It is taking a long time, now to get a greencard, for Indians, 6 plus yrs. EB2 may take 8 yrs. Biggest problem of not having a greencard, is mobility, and therefore, getting underpaid by their bodyshop employer. I believe that we have a solution to their problem. That is, we offer mobility to our employees. They can work for any company out there in the US, as a consultant, and our employees get 90-92% of the billing rate minus taxes of course. Thats 20% more than what even the citizen/greencard holders make at most staffing companies.
In India: We call ourself "Un-Sweatshop", an alternative to working for multi-billion dollar software Sweatshops in India. Although India might look like, its making strides in the technological arena, we believe, that the greatest civilization, to exist on the Earth has slipped back (hopefully for very short time) into middle ages, similar to the days of industrial age. These software sweatshops, employ thousands of Indians, putting in 14 hr avg. workdays 6 days a week. Sure they are getting thousands of Ruppees. This is no way to live. While the Indian workers are slogging under constant pressure of losing their job for non performance, the owners, so called visionaries are raking in billions. These visionaries are developing "the Ass" culture in India. An ass works very hard all day, carrying all this weight on his back, for the washer man, because he thinks that at the end of the day, the washer man will feed him grass. You see, the ass can find a morsel of grass anywhere. He doesnt have to work so hard.
What would we do different? We will implement normal hours of 8-9 hrs /day. No emotional blackmail.
Share 90% of our profits with the employees. Employees can expect a Diwali check to be as much as their yearly salary! We are looking for a break in India, for a site allotment. Once this works out, we will be in business.
Why would NRISoft want to do give out the store?
our missions statement is, "Isa Vasyam Idam Sarvam.....
God is the true owner of all things. Why take claim for something that isnt ours?
At the end of the day, no matter how much money you make, you can only eat 4 chapatis!
I guarantee you, that the rogues that claim to own these billion dollar sweatshops, cant even digest 1 chapati.
>>2) How successful have you been in giving Indians on H-1B visas a better deal
>>in USA
We have been very successful. We are a true equal opportunity employer, unlike other American companies, who pay about 14% less to H1b employees, according to a study.
Some H1bs transferring from other bodyshops, nearly double their pay. Sometimes, get paid even better.
We start the greencard processing within 30 days. Not after a year or two or three.
Anyone who is on a project can transfer their H1b to NRISoft and start, perhaps doubling their pay.
>>3) How bad is the exploitation of Indians on such visas in America?
Exploitation of H1b visas holder is just, extremely bad. Unfortunate part of the story is, it is Indians who are exploiting other Indians, both in India, as well as in America.
So, I request you to help us make a change. Tell your friends in America to call us and find out how we can help them. And in turn, they can help us reach our goals.
Our Goals in India are:
1. End "Ass culture" in the IT sector.
2. Stop Cow slaughter in India, by declaring Cow as "India's national animal".
