*** Transferring H1B after one is approved from one employer***

[LabGypsy]

I work for company A and next week is my last day there. I just got my H1b transferred to another company B which got approved 5 days back. Now, I also got an offer today from Company C which is my top choice. 

1. Having quit company A and with a company B sponsored H1b, what might be the best way to join company C?
2. Should i join company B now and wait for company C to take care of my second H1B transfer?

Request your immediate help..

Thanks..

1. Ask company C to file a cap exempt H1B petition and on approval join them

2. Yes, it will be better.

Thanks for the response, Jairichi. Super helpful. Perhaps I must clarify one small thing.

 

The original H1B was from Company A that I will be quitting in a week from. Company B which I "WAS" to join in a week or so had got that H1B transferred (it is approved). 

 

That said, wouldn't H1B transfer from B to C not be a cap exempt one anyway?

 

Also, if I leave company A, and start H1B transfer from B to C while I am without a job (I'd have quit Company A), would that get me "out of status"?

 

Truly appreciate your inputs..Thanks.

It would be cap exempt for sure.

Since you have a week with company A your employer C can file a cap exempt petition and based on receipt notice and with a decision pending with USCIS you are on valid status in US. Even though it is allowed to work with a receipt notice it is suggested to join employer C on approval. To get an immediate approval I asked you to do premium processing.

 

The reason why I said it is better to join B when employer C's petition is under process is that in case it is denied you could still keep working for employer B.

This makes perfect sense, Jairichi. Immensely helpful. Thank you.
