Hi bbb
thanks for ur comments. I am wondering why programs do offer and other dont H visas. According yo me, its because they have to spend some amount of money for it (close to 5000?)??
is that true?...and if so, why they don't allow the applycant to cover the money? is there any specific rule or is just an ethical matter?
thank you again

It's money, usually. Or the whole cap/non-cap issue. Programs shouldn't have the applicants pay - it's written into the H1b visa rules that the sponsoring employer is responsible for all costs involved in the visa. I don't know how some hospitals get around that.

in one interview it was highlighted in BOLD that the hospital wont pay for premium processing etc. so called good univ hospital in a nice city.. it was a bit of a turnoff honestly. not cos it costs an extra 1000 bucks, but simply cos they're so straight forwardly not abiding by rules.

I guess the hospital/ employer is responsible for all "regular" costs involved in the H1 application; the premium processing is a luxury...and they are not required to pay for it.....even some big companies hiring engineers do not cover premium processing!

I hate to be this realistic, but to my knowledge the premium processing for H1B is currently suspended indefinitely. So this discussion is somewhat moot.
When this was an option, if the company wanted someone that was really outstanding and the three-month or more waiting time for H1B was unacceptable, they paid the premium. On the contrary, if the employer felt that the employee has no other choices but that H1B and/or the waiting time was against the employee's interests, then the company left the $1000 responsibility on the employee's shoulders.
