Texangirl..There are innumerable consulting firms and noone knows which is better. I would say the best thing would be. Get a list of consulting firms from Sulekha.com and exnazar.com and talk personally. Some might ask to transfer H1 but do not decide on it at the begining. As nepaliJose said you might need pay stubs to transfer the H1. Since you might not have one it, it is better to find a project first. Expand your fields. Look for some easy fields like Business Analysts too. That way you have more chances. Act right now because it is technically illegal to be in H1 and not work. Once you talk to consultancies limit your list to few and come to sajha with the name. That way somebody might have better idea about that consultancy and help. Hope that gives you a bit insight. Good Luck!!
