how expensive is it for startups to hire immigrants or sponsor an h1b? wouldn’t it be cheaper/easier to hire americans until the company is larger?



All in for an H-1B, anywhere between $5k and $10k depending on the legal fees and whether premium processing is used. So a company would avoid these costs if hiring US workers.
