H1B Transfer while current petition is in RFE.

[SS23]

Hi,

I am working in Indian MNC company A and i have applied for H1B extension for 2nd time, currently it's in RFE status [Documents not yet filed with Immigration]. Meanwhile i got offer from another company B.

 

1. Can i transfer H1B to the New company B while current extension petition is in RFE stage?
2. If i move to new company B, the RFE documents wont be filed by company A. Will it create any impact in future?

Thanks!

1. You cannot "transfer" unless and until the current extension is approved FIRST. But you can have a new non cap H1 petition filed by the new company and on approval leave and return on the basis of the H1 visa.

2. See 1. Otherwise no impact.
