poldavid Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 I already have an active H1B that goes till March 2014. My current job is a research postdoc in a land grant university that goes till Aug 31, 2013. I have an offer from another land grant university located in south. I was wondering, how long does it take to transfer H1B visa (in this case from one university to another university) so that I can decide about my joining date at the new place. In case it takes more than two months, then can I stay in the country after Aug 31, 2013 waiting for the approval from USCIS? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Premium Processing would get you a transfer in about 3 weeks. Talk to your potential employer HR and discuss the matter with them. Link to comment
jairichi Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Premium processing will help you to get transfer in 2 weeks. That is what they did for me in my university Link to comment
