I have a H1B petition filed by my previous employer but never worked on H1B payrolls. Now, I'm planning to get my H1B petition transferred to my new employer. I'm in India, not sure how long the whole process takes? Could someone please help me w/ below questions?

  1. Can I have premium processing initiated for the transfer or fresh filing? How long will it take?
  2. It’s been less than a month I joined the new employer? Are there any dependencies like min paystubs etc.?
  3. Is there a possibility that my petition will be cancelled in case I opt for some other work visa or dependent visa (F2)? I have my I -140 approved as well

Thank you Shiv. I think I should have rephrassed my question as below. Pls let know!

 

I was in US w/ Employer A in 2012

Employer B filed for H1B and I - 140 in 2012

I travelled back to India in the mid of year

My I -140 was approved by Nov 2012 and H1B petition was approved in 2013 Feb
