I think part of the issue is that H-1B is a non-immigrant visa.

It's ridiculous for a country like the US to expect people to move their whole household for ... 6 years?

H-1B is actually slightly better than an L1*. At least with the H-1B you are allowed to change jobs if the new employer wants to do the paperwork. For the L1 you can't do that. The visa is tied to the current employer. You leave? You're out.




With L1/L2 your partner can work.

H1B is more complex for spouse to work.
