H1B Transfer

[smilingsanjay]

I have H1B approved petition with one Employer. In case I get an job offer with another Employer. The new employer wants to get the H1B transferred to him and doesn't want me to be an employee of the first employer.

Is there any support needed from the old employer from the H1B transfer process ? If yes what support is needed and does he have any authority to negatively impact the H1B transfer process ?

Do you have any contract with the current employer?

Typically you wouldnt need any support from the current employer except the paystubs.

Make sure not breaking any contract with the current employer.

What would be the impact of breaking the contract? I have contract with Company A "X" USD and also work for a year with them on H1b, W2. There is no job security so I applied for H1b transfer with company B.

If you did sign any contract as such, your employer can use that as legal document to get the money back.

But on H1, there is no such thing called as contract.
