smileysony Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Hi My visa is expiring in a month . My current company has already filed an visa extension in October 2014 under normal processing . Still didnt receive any case update . In this time , can i change my employer and do h1 transfer under premium processing ? Please guide me . Doing my h1 transfer in this situtaion, will it effect my i94 and H1 . I dont have clarity which company visa processing happens first ?? Link to comment
jairichi Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 If your I94 is valid then a new employer can file a cap exempt H1B petition. It will not affect your I94 or H1B. Link to comment
smileysony Posted December 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 My I94 is still valid . So if i transfer my H1B to new employer it seems both my current & new employer visa processing are in process state with USCIS . We dont know which employer visa processing status comes first . ? Does H1 transfer to new employer changes my petiiton number ?? Link to comment
ashuneel Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 you will not know which processing comes first unless new petition is in premium. new employer will have different pettion number as it is independant petition. Link to comment

Ask new employer to file your H1B petition in premium processing. On approval move to new employer. Link to comment
