Thanks lmao and Sarekekodimag,
I was just sharing my personal experience. I have been through all that consultancies and shit. only thing i can say is keep trying. I believe everyone will eventually get fair share of their hard work if not everything.
I was graduated with very decent grade and had couple of years experience back home. I tried to find a job myself for almost 3 months after graduation. I almost made it but was not that lucky. then joined consultancy just to save my status, took training , enjoyed free food and accommodation about 4-5 months. But i was doing what i was supposed to do. I was keep looking for a job myself.
Then i decided to leave consultancy due to frustration and moreover didn't have money to pay credit card bills , phone bill, so and so. Then started to work in a Subway but didn't give up my job hunting process. after a week i got a job on my own.
Got a job started working then what? I had only 7 months remaining OPT. My employer didn't know about my status. Actually my company don;t do hiring process directly. They do it through other recruiting company and what happened was the recruiting company gave my employer false info. The recruiting company told my employer that i can work as long as contract last and i am good to go (I knew it yesterday when i was there to ask my employer to sponsor H1) - i guess i was lucky bastard. I was sacred to death to tell them but had no options so i did tell em. I explained them about the possibilities luckily they agreed to help me. they enrolled in e-verify and helped me to extend my OPT.
Yesterday he quite frankly told me he would have never hired me if knew that all these shit in the beginning. But now he is quite happy to have me. he likes my work, he likes me as a person. Now again my OPT is not going to long last. I told him i need H1 sponsor if you want to have me and now he is ready to do it. so you need to focus on getting job first
