Anyone with insight into how long h1b transfers take? What does it look like for someone on an H1B trying switch jobs asap?

    From the day of getting offer, the company's law firm will start working on your case. Will collect the details and start the h1b transfer process which will take min of 2 weeks. If filing in premium USCIS will give response in 15 working days. If it's approved you are good. So in total it takes 1month.

    One another tip is you can even join a company when transfer is being applied you don't need to wait for approval. It depends if you can take the risk and your manager allows for it.

  • Mine took 1.5 months for the whole process. Got the offer on 23rd of feb. The documentation process took about a month. Applied on 04/06, got receipt on 04/08 and approved on 04/14.

      I see! So did you just get approved today? Congratulations! Have you been working in the meantime?

    • Yes I got the approval today. I’m working at my current company and just waiting for bonus to hit my account. Will give a week’s notice tomorrow and start with the new company next week.

    I had one done in less than three months (regular processing) in 2018. No RFE. Premium processing can end up with RFE if USCIS doesn't have enough time to go through your paperworks.
