Hi,

I have a couple of questions regarding transfer and extension of H1B visa. Any information will be very helpful.

1. I have a H1B which is valid till August 15, 2013. I am changing employers and my new job begins on 15th August 2013. Can my H1B visa/petition be transfered and extended simultaneously or will a new petition have to be filed?

My current and next employers are universities, so there are no worries about the quota restrictions for a new H1B.

2. My passport is also set to expire at the end of August this year. Can I give my current passport number for the H1 extension/transfer/new visa and renew my passport in the meantime? Or do I have to give the new passport number?

Thank you
