H1b transfer and Visa Extension

[texas007]

Hi ,

 

I need urgent help on below query.

 

I am on H1B visa with company A with 3rd year of visa is expiring on sept , 2013. Company A is ready to apply for extension but meanwhile I have got offer from Company B. Company B is ready to transfer visa on premium.

 

My query is :

 

1. If I accept the offer from Company B and apply for H1b transfer, do I need to apply for extension again from company B

or H1 transfer I94 will be treated as new visa date and I don need to appy for extension once I join company B

2. If above case is not applicable, can H1B transfer+extension be filed together.

 

 

Your comments/suggestions are appreciated.

When you transfer to Company B..you'll get the Extension along with that.

Once company B files a H1B petition and gets approval you no longer need to apply for H1B extension

Well, it depends on how quick they can get LCA approved and apply for PP. Ask employer B's attorney. I believe you have a good chance to get it approved quickly
