January 11, 2010I am on H1B visa as Computer professional. Now I wanted to do job as manager in Subway Restaurant. I also have Postgraduate Diploma in Business management. So can my Employer can fill I-129 for me ?
The labor certification process has become far more difficult as of Jan 1, 2010. The employer has to prove now, beyond any doubt, that they could not find a qualified US citizen or green card holder for the job.
And they cannot demand a Postgraduate business degree for a job like this so they can hire you. A subway manager will only be required to have a high school diploma and a few years of fast food experience. Your higher degree will not count.
You should stick with what you have.
Horaayy..there are 3 comment(s) for me so far ;)
No. You are bound to the employer who sponsors your visa. Subway cannot/will not be able to obtain an H-1B Visa for you. If you can’t live within the terms of your current visa you should think about returning home.

well, they’d have to file a new petition for you first. however, I doubt that Subway would be willing to do that or that it would be approved, as there’s no shortage of Americans who would do that job, and I doubt it would require a university degree.
