soulraider Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) Hello All, I have a valid H1B Visa until August 2020 from previous employer, I have an approved H1B petition until March 2021 from current Employer. I recently got an offer from another company who is willing to sponsor, however I have travel plans until mid of February and willing to join right after the vacation. Recently new company Attorney reached out to me saying that they can’t file H1B until I am in states, I was curious is that a general USCIS rule (I doubt that as my transfer going to be intended, Can some one confirm? Thanks in advance. Edited December 22, 2019 by soulraider Minor change Quote Link to comment
User099 Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 Technically they can file a transfer while you are in India. But they will have to file it under consular processing which most employers don't prefer. Quote Link to comment
