Legal Question in Immigration Law in Massachusetts
Hi filing
I'm on OPT. My employer is ready to
hire me but doesnot have a lawyer. Is
it possible that I hire my own lawyer
and get the formalities done from the
employer and infact cover the expenses
myself or the lawyer has to be
employed by the company.

Re: Hi filing
It can be done either way. The only thing that you need to be aware of is that if you hire the attorney then there are certain H-1B fees that the employer is required to pay. Also, if you hire the attorney it may be a good idea to be sure that the lawyer does the Public Access Documents for the employer.
