maq Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Situation: I am currently in US on L1B from Employer A (petition and I-94) valid till Feb 2021 and would have another 2 years to max out (Feb 2023). My current employer is not supporting to file H1 B, so I want to apply for H1B consular processing through another employer B this year, so that I can initiate PERM/I140 and secure an early priority date. I understand that with consular processing approval, USCIS would give me I797-B (without I-94), which means I can continue to work for Employer B, till I re-enter US with H1B visa stamped on passport. Assuming my H1B would be picked & approved in 2020 with 2-3 years validity, I have below few queries: Questions: 1. Can my H1B (which would be approved for Employer B) be transferred to Employer A, while I continue to work for Employer A? 2. How long can I wait (and continue working for Employer A on L1B), before going for H1B stamping and start working for Employer B (assuming Employer B would not revoke my H1B anytime soon). 3. Can I change employer i.e., work for Employer C immediately after I get H1B stamping done? Thanks for your feedback. Quote Link to comment
gopalakrishnach Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 1. You must start your H1B and after that transfer is possible 2. Depends on Emp B deadline. After sometime if you do not joji them they need to let UCIS know and revoke H1B. Thats law. 3. You need to approved petition or atleast petition submited and have receipt number for C.
