Has anyone done an H1b transfer before Oct 1st.My H1b is approved and i have the receipt notice.The H1 B was initiated be company A and now I want to move to company B.
Dick move
Can’t we apply for a transfer too before October 1st?
In a similar boat, waiting to hear from someone who has done it earlier and is it safe or not? And how the timeline looks for that? Thanks!
Once a H1B is approved, you can transfer it anytime you have another sponsor ready to file H1B transfer.
Wrong
Why is that so?
OP....can you confirm if it's a new H1B or you are already working on H1B for an employer?
New H1B
Wrong, he confirmed that he is already in the US working on H1 for an employer. I wonder why he needs to wait until oct 1st.
Just to be clear. There is no such thing as a H1-B transfer. It is a new H1-B petition by a new employer and subject to the same level of scrutiny as all petitions. The only difference is the you don't go through the CAP(lottery) again.
Company B can initiate a new H1-B on your behalf. If you have already cleared the CAP, you will be filed in the CAP Exempt category. The process gets complicated if you are outside the US
I would also suggest that you post this question on Quora as opposed to Blind since quora has a lot of members who are former uscis employees or immigration attorneys. They will be better equipped with the complete knowledge of all rules and the ever changing procedures. Processes have changed vastly over the last 2 years. So one person's positive experience will probably end up being your nightmare.
Hi @CIBER, thanks a lot for your response. I was concerned that I might need to be in lottery again if I transfer to new employer before 1st oct, but that's not the case, right?
