Build files both the part time and full time petition for Fellow
2
Build employs the foreign national in the Fellowship, for 5 hours per week, and sponsors them for a part time, cap-exempt H-1B
3
Build also employs the foreign national, as a full time contract employee with the Company, and sponsors their concurrent H-1B visa
The Fellow receives all benefits from Build
The Company does not incur any cost for the concurrent petition and is not involved in the visa sponsorship
The Company can still enter Fellow into the H-1B lottery in March
Amount paid to Build is calculated by taking the annual salary of the employee, and removing the last three zeros
Considerations
As a result of the Fellow’s participation, and as long as the company is paying the Fellow a fair wage, the company can negotiate with the Fellow for a lower base compensation.
For the concurrent employment options, we recommend reducing the Fellow’s compensation by at least $1k per month because that is the typical minimum in additional compensation that the Fellow receives.
