pc2honey Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 Hi, Is it possible and safe to switch company just after the H1B approval and before going to US. Can it be the case that the current employer which initially filed for the H1B ask for cancellation/revoke of H1B, and if it is the case then what needs to be done for transfer. I got H1B approval from company A and after that i got a good offer from company B, so my question is; can i join the new company without affecting the H1B approval.? considering that i just got the H1B approval and have not done stamping yet. Also what all documents i need to have in order to make the transfer. Thnx Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 1. The new rules stipulate joining the new employer first before "transfers" are allowed. But it seems that if you have a stamped H1 visa , you can indeed "transfer". Documents are all the documents you sent for the initial H1. Link to comment
pc2honey Posted October 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Just have the approval notice, as the filling was done by Attorney in the current company. Question is will H1B remain valid if join new employer before stamping? and what is the process to follow (under new rule). Link to comment
JoeF Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 You need to start working for the original employer before a transfer is possible. Link to comment
pc2honey Posted November 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 so what will happen with the H1B approval, if i switch the company before getting the stamping done? Link to comment
JoeF Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 It would be gone. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 At least read the Murthy lawyers take on H1 visa stamping making your cap count legal and presumably allowing you to change employers. Search the website or talk to the firm.. Link to comment
JBJS Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Were you able to get an answer on this? I am in a similar situation and seeking advise. Can transfer be done when you have approval but visa is not active? My previous company also withdrew the visa, which was never active. Can I still make a transfer and be cap-exempt? Link to comment
