Check your contract for notice period. If there is one do serve the notice to resign accordingly. 2. If they apply in premium processing you would get a decision within 15 calendar days of H1B petition filing. 3. You can but it is a risk. If for some reasons H1B petition with new employer is denied what would be your situation? Link to comment
