H1 Transfer from outside US, before activating it


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I have an approved and stamped H1 for my company which is outside of India. However after returning from stamping, they are not willing to move me to the US anytime soon. So I am considering what are my best options at the moment - 

  1. In such a case, is it possible to transfer to another company while I'm still outside the US?
  2. Considering this is the first time I received it and haven't even entered the US to activate it, will it still be a H1 Transfer?
  3. If it is a H1 Transfer, will the approved I-797 from the new company be sufficient or will I need to go for stamping again?
  4. If it is not a H1 Transfer, are there any other options to utilize the visa?

Any suggestions are much appreciated.
