If ny new employer starts a H1b transfer , does the process have anything to do with my current boss? Can he get to know about my H1b transfer in any way? Also approximately how long does the visa transfer process take assuming I dont get RFEd?
6-8 weeks for the timeline on average
2 weeks if done in premium
They are sending RFEs to everyone in holiday season to buy time if you apply in premium. Realistically 4-5 weeks ..
There is no way for your current employer to find out. An H-1B "transfer" is not really a transfer, it's just a new H-1B petition that is cap exempt.
If you need anything from your current employer to file the docs for the transfer you might out yourslef
NO! Congrats 👍
