H1 B Transfer and extension

[rspotnis]

Hi, 

 

I am in 2nd year of my 1st H1 B visa. I am moving to another employer who is willing to transfer my H1. I want to know if he can apply for trasnfer and extension together or will need to apply for extension next year. Also how much will it cost the employer in both cases?

 

Please advise.

 

Thanks!

When your new employer files a H1B petition for you then based on the project requirement you might get an extended valid I797.
