Hello everyone,

 

 

I am currently with an employer A who is filing my H1B this April 2015. I work for the client B who recently offered me a full time opportunity and promised to transfer H1B, if my application gets picked up. My question is if my H1B gets picked up, Can i immediately transfer it to my Client B Company. I have this doubt because the employment usually starts from October 1st of 2015. I am seriously interested in Client B company as its a big MNC. Could someone advice is it perfectly ok to transfer and not have any future problems.

 

Currently i am on F1-OPT working in US.

No, you cannot transfer your H1 before Oct 1st.

You cannot transfer your H1b before Oct 1st (as per recent USCIS rules). If your previous employer revokes H1b before Oct 1st, your H1b will be nullified, means no cap exemption. As beneficiary or job doesn't exist on Oct 1st, H1b will be nullified. In order to get H1b, you would wait for next FY H1b filing.
