Hi

 

I got an job offer while my h1b extension is approved in USCIS but i didnt recieved i797 copy yet. 

 

Can I change the company without i797 copy as I can see  my extension was approved in USCIS website. Thanks.

New company has to file a H1B petition first. Even though you can join new company based on receipt notice it is advisable to wait for approval.

Possible. Check with your prospective employer / lawyer if the H1b case no + online screen snap showing H1b extension is approved are enough evidence.
