I’m currently on stem Opt which expires in 04/2025. My h1b is selected this year from Amazon. But I’m already in focus and will soon be pipped which makes my end date in amazon somewhere around may/june. If I file for premium processing from amazon and is approved by mid may , can I transfer this to another company before Oct 1 ? I already have a job offer in hand from another company. PS - I already used my 12 week FMLA period so I can’t take leave anymore to extend my period at Amazon.
You can transfer before Oct 1, after you get your approval from USCIS. I doubt the first time you can do premium, do ask though
Thank you. I think I can do premium out of pocket.
You can extend by 3 months to get short term disability. Have you tried that?
I extended it for a month after my 12 week FMLA. I don’t want to explore that option anymore as I have a very good offer in hand and don’t want to loose that too ! So just wondering if I can just do my h1 transfer before October.
Nice congratulations did you prepare hard during the fmla period
My attorney says you can speed it up by just 10 days i.e., 10 days before Oct 1.
I believe its possible once approved. My colleague did this 2 years ago in my previous company
Oh okay. Thank you.
