Our Process
menschForce typically works with our member consultants worldwide to match their expertise, experience, and skills that are in need by our clients. menschForce members while maintaining their independent membership with menschForce Society, will additionally become an employee of either menschForce LLC or one of the Vendor Companies of menschForce for the Specific Bonafide Job. Kindly remember, the H1B program is a Specialty occupation Program and cannot be used as a replacement for any US job. To qualify for a Specific Bonafide Job, our member consultant should attend Interviews, and qualify for it before even we process their H1B. Just being a member consultant does not guarantee to be qualified for an h1b lottery or eventually process the petition. There are multiple agencies involved in the Process like the Department of Labor, USCIS, and the Department of State each following their own process/regulation/guidelines in the Due course. So, nothing is guaranteed in the H1B Program except for the bonafide Job from the Employer. We do not encourage anyone to become a member in lieu of h1b. MenschForce membership in Society is the gateway to the Larger benefits that are offered to you as an Independent Consultant to work remotely or travel globally through legal migration visas. To qualify for a Project or to earn your compensation as a worker, menschForce typically does not force you to migrate. Our compensation is uniform and global regardless of where you work. So, it’s only the need of the Client and the nature of the job that might force you to get into the H1B program(or other programs from other countries worldwide).
Please spend enough time exploring the program from above mentioned general resources. Avoid unverified sources or inauthentic sources from the internet.

IF you are a new member, please schedule a discovery call with one of our Partners, immediately. We do not apply for H1B just because you are a member. H1B program is designed for a Specific Speciality Employment for a specific client and for a Specific Job Location. So, kindly get involved in the discovery and project matching exercise with our delivery partner/hr-committee. This will enable us to file for your H1B Lottery through one of our Vendor Companies.
