Hi,

 

My H1B was approved by the end of September.

I came to US with my husband on 19th Oct on H4 visa.

Since I have not yet received H1B petition docs from my employer, I was not able to get my H1B visa stamped in India.

 

Here is my question:

 

1.) I have got an offer from another company. Can I apply for H1B trasfer now?

2.) How long will it take for H1B transfer?

3.) Are there any chances of rejection?

4.) My H1B is approved, but not stamped. Will this be of any problem for applying for H1B transfer?

 

Kindly reply
