Is it possible to transfer an H-1B to another company without activating/changing to H-1B status? e.g. Someone is currently on OPT, and has been selected in H-1B lottery with consular option, now wants to transfer to another company before Oct 1st, is there a way to keep that H-1B?
You have nothing to loose if transfer gets rejected. You still have H1
No, I’m on OPT right now, thinking about H-1B transfer during OPT.
You still have *f1
Don't listen to theoritical suggestions. A friend tried to transfer like this and his transfer got rejected. Listen to your immigration attorney or consult another one for god's sake!
Don't do it. My attorney asked me to wait until I got my H1 stamped.
@ncdjsj do you mind sharing what happened on this transfer ? I'm in same boat. Is transfer after October 1st not an issue ?

What happens when most of your team is Indian?
Yes they do it on approval notice
So once it’s approved, the new company can initiate the transfer process? My immigration attorney told me its high risk and will likely get rejected, is it true?
No..every h1b transfer is a new h1b petition.so unless your new job profile is different from your current one it will be mostly approved
