Do H-1B PostDoc Researchers Have to Work For the University?
The short answer is NO “Poostdoctoral candidates did research under educational institutions research grants. Some aliens received their H-1B visa as the result of petitioning colleges/universities. However, these aliens were not necessarily employees of the schools. They were postdoctoral scholars/fellows/associates doing research under grants. Again, since these aliens were compensated under grants, we are uncertain what control the schools had over the hiring, firing, supervision, or work.
