can you elaborate the 30-40k little bit. From what i know fees including premium processing are less than 3k and if you include 2k for attorney thats 5k.
I wish I could, but from what I've been told the company usually pays around that to get an H1B... :/
Um, no they don't. I am in the Bay Area with a startup on an H1B, and the fee for filing my application with the USCIS was close to $500. Expedited processing costs another $1000.
