Advice on getting a H1B visa to the US

Hey all,

Let me introduce myself; My name is Josh and I'm a self employed hardware engineer. I graduated from the University of Manchester with a Masters in Electrical and Electronic Engineering in 2015 and have been freelancing ever side.

One of my clients, a robotics company based in New York, has offered me a permanent position and sponsorship for H1B visa, and I'd very much like to take it!

However I'm a bit lost when it comes to the process and the nuances of it. Is there anyone here (or do you know anyone) who's been through the H1B visa as an engineer? Would they be willing to perhaps share their experiences to a fellow engineer?

Thanks in advance,

Josh

Thanks both.

Richard I agree I definitely will take it if I can. I like the employer and the role!

David thanks, I think that's good advice for us to retain the attorney now (prior to January when the process starts). I wasn't away of the advanced degree exemption, that's interesting. I did an MEng at Manchester University with a year in industry, so that may well qualify. I will speak to my employer about retaining a lawyer now.
