3 possible options: If You have a job Via Consultancy: Gather and provide the documents as requested by your Consultancy. If you dont have a job and your consultancy wants to file for H1B: Gather and provide the documents as requested by your Consultancy. If you have a direct Job ( w/o any intermediate Consultancy/Recruiters): Gather and provide the documents as requested by your Company. NOTE: You dont have to pay from your pocket to file H1B. However, in some cases you might have to ( esp for #2). I'd  definitely want the Consultancy to pay for it. Its upto you how you negotiate your deal. ~GoodLuck

@ no more crush.. thanks for the information. Mine is potion 3, do you know if they have to post a job on newspaper? thanks

I know for sure it is the case for GreenCard processing. I'm not quite sure if they really have to post a job in the newspaper for filing a H1B.  However, it's not your concern and you dont have to worry about all the hassle. Just talk to the HR folks / associated lawyer of your company and follow whatever they say and provide the documents accordingly. ~GoodLuck

It is not required for h1b. They should post the information in notice board to lt all the employees know that h1b will be working with them.
