What should I do if my employer doesn't want to sponsor H-1B?

If your employer won't sponsor H-1B:

• Discuss benefits of H-1B sponsorship (long-term employee, no need to worry about OPT expiration)
• Offer to share costs (premium processing, attorney fees)
• Show your value to the company
• Consider alternatives: O-1 visa (if eligible), L-1 (if company has India office), or find new employer
• Start job search early if they refuse
