Extension of stay compulsary while filing for H1 transfer???

[osa87]

I have time until August 2017 on my current H1B approval notice as well as on the I-94. If I need to change employers, does the new company absolutely need to file for an extension of stay too? Is it possible to only file for a change of employer and request the same end date as the current I-94? I need to premium process my application and just looking for ways to avoid USCIS's crazy rule of suspending Premium processing for next two months.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Since this is not a new H1, I guess you can't file under PP.

Yes, I am in the same situation.  You can file just for transfer, i.e, extension can be done later.

Hello H1bSeeker2011

Please let me know if your application was filed under Premium Processing requesting only a change of employer and same end that as the previous H1? Also did USCIS accept it as a Premium Processing application?

Thanks.
