you can change your employer with H1 too, and no offence, but be practicle too, how often are you gonna change your employer, every yr, every 6 months, you might change 1 employer in 6 yrs,coz you know as well as me, chaginbe a job every yr is not good in resume. another thing, most probably you are planning to get married within 4-5 yrs, u wont get your green card thru employement untill 5-6 yrs,which means you cant even bring your wife to US. where as, you can do so with H1, and you both still will get a green card. so know your priority. '... I have been in H1 visa past 8 years and I know how limited you will be with H1..."..........common man, where did u go to schoool, here in states right, well you stayed 4-5 yrs being in I 20 didnt you, i bet that had more limitations, so dont complain. abhay....EB2 and 3 are not available to India, because they already have too big of a quota for indians thru H1. and not only that DV is not available for indians too. Katrina(seems like you chaged you name to katie, after that hurricane).....EB2 or 3 is decided even before you file for your labor certification. EB2/3 , as to which way to go with depends on your qualification, and experience and so forth.
