H1-B approved. new employer?? what's next

[veerun14]

Hi all,

Here is my case

I am on OPT status and my employer filed for H1-B petition this year and it got approved.

Now, i have a better opportunity with another big big company and i want to work with them.

1. Can i transfer my current approved H1-B to the new company and start work with them?

OR

2. Should the new company file for a new H1-B (since h1-b is not started yet, as you know, it starts from Oct 1st)?

My opt expires June 6 this year

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks
