H1B transfers are easy. You aren't beholden to an employer.

I've had three different H1Bs. Yes, transfers are easy, but they're sure a hell more risky than staying at your current job and enduring whatever you have to.

You're not beholden to your employer, but you have borderline coercive reasons to stay.

Even a 5% chance you and your partner/kids have to uproot their life is a bigger sacrifice than a 30% wage increase, at least to some people.

Great, yes, but you sure as hell don't have "absolute loyalty" to a company.

You have 60 days to find a new job or get deported. It's a pretty strong lever.

How is that related to a transfer? If you have a job on an H1b, you can get another job and switch to it any time with a transfer.

It is unbelievable the kind of misinformation that is spread about immigrants. Thanks for pointing that out
