My H1b visa expired this week and the attorney already filed for the extension (non-premium) last month. Now I got a different job but in order to transfer my H1B to the new employer, original extension needs to be approved first. Does anyone know if the extension application can be fast tracked through the premium processing?

    Is it same even if your Visa wouldn't have expired yet and your extension is under processing? Would you have to wait for new company to file new H1B…? Or the issue is because your visa got expired?

      Oh that's gonna take a long time. Do you have an offer from the new employer? How fast will they process your petition?

    I'm also in the same boat. My current company already filed the extension in normal processing. I paid $1450 and changed it to premium so that I can apply for transfer with my future company soon.

    Contact your attorney, send a check to them. They will upgrade the petition to premium.

    One can do transfer their application into premium anytime .. there is no such restriction if you have filed regular before so can not do premium .. that’s not true.. just paid $1250 and trigger your app into premium
