How does it work?

Upon reaching a consent with a client you sign an agreement with UNIPOINT, and we start processing all the necessary legal work associated with contract fulfillment and H1B visa processing. You will be paid salary as soon as you start working on a client's project. UNIPOINT bills the client and collects on invoices.
