Generally, an H1B petition filed by a new employer must include evidence that the position qualifies as a specialty occupation and that the beneficiary qualifies for the position. Also, the petitioner must demonstrate the bona fide nature of the position and that a bona fide employer-employee relationship will exist for the entire duration requested. Finally, if requesting an extension of stay, the beneficiary must provide evidence that s/he is maintaining valid H1B status at the time of filing the change of employer petition. Please schedule a consultation with an experienced immigration attorney to discuss the specific facts of your case and to determine the timing for filing your change of employer petition and the types of documentation that must be included in the petition.
