Working on H1B visa sucks big time!!! I had H1B for 9 years - got extended after 6 years since my green card was pending. Finally got my green card like 6 years ago.
Personally, if you have a stable job in Malaysia, just stay in Malaysia, there is job security there.
Current US economy is so volatile! No job security at all, company can just let you go without severance pay - as a matter of fact, they don't need to give a reason to terminate your employment. They call it employment at WILL, you can also quit without giving notice - more like just walk away from a job if you have a crappy boss!
Income wise - you need to make at least $100 K in order to live comfortably .. again tax is pain.. the more you earn the more you pay ! if you are making 100K plus in California - that's average salary and you would pay like 40 % tax.
If you are in the technology sector ( it's easy to find jobs here - then again you got to be good, technically strong! - managers find it hard to land a new job - and technical guys get better pay than managers! I'm a technical guy and I jump job almost every 6 months to 12 months )
Please educate those who want to migrate to the USA, who thinks that its heaven over there, and getting a job is a breeze in the USA.Personally, if you have a stable job in Malaysia, just stay in Malaysia, there is job security there.

They are usually located in the RWI section in LYN.
You won't believe the misconception people have about living in the USA.
They think everybody is living the American dream in the USA!
