hemanth7 Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 I work in US. My current employer H1B is picked up in lottery and is approved via premium processing. I had an offer with an other employer. I talked to their immigration team. They said, they can take the approved notice and apply for new H1B and join the firm (using my STEM OPT visa). But, they suggested that my current employer doesn't withdraw the approved H1B until Oct 1st. Why is that so? Since my H1B is transferred with my new employer, wouldn't my cap be with my new employer? Quote Link to comment
Zodiac System Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 The start date of your H1b lottery cap is October 1st. Until then you are under CAP GAP. Quote Link to comment
JoeF Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 You have to start working on the H1 for the original employer before it can be transferred. The suggestion from the new employer is dangerous, and shows that the potential new employer is rather shady. Quote Link to comment
adshah84 Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 You can not transfer H1b before Oct 1st. Don't do that. Just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment
