Filing H1B with new employer

[VAC]

Hi,

 

I am contractor.  My current employer is not filling me H1B visa.  so, I am chaining my employer.  Can some one tell me when should I change my payroll to new employer and list of things need to be considered before changing the payroll to new employer.  

 

Thank you

First, if you have an employer, you are NOT a contractor. You are an employee. You may work at a client site, but that doesn't make you a contractor.

Second, what is your current status? That determines if you even can change employers.

You don't change your pay roll. Once you change your employer then your new employer will run your pay roll. Just make sure sure that you didn't sign any agreement with your current employer.

I am sorry for the late reply. Currently I am in my STEM OPT which expires on oct'2014. I don't have any contract with my current employer.
