Post: H1B for Independant Contractor

Posted by learnerdentist on 4/14/12
Hello forum,
I am graduating in May from a New York Dental school after
doing dentistry DDS. I found a dentist who is willing to
hire me as a dentist in his practice ONLY as a CONTRACTOR
and NOT as an Emplyee. He is comfortable to sign in all the
paper work that may be required for applying for H1B and
Green Card. The practice where I will work has been there
since last 20+ years and he is a dentist too. The whole
practice has a gross revenue of 2Million USD.
My concern is: Can he actually sponsor me for an H1B and
Green Card, even when he calls me the contractor in the
service agreement? (Although I work like an employee, 40
hours a week, and he lets me use all his instruments, staff
and practice and what not?)
Would it be legal and would there be any problem while H1B
or Green Card is sponsored when i am working as a
CONTRACTOR?
