Talwinder Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I am on H1b with employer A and working in USA .My petition was transferred and was approved for employer B on Feb 1. I got joining from B for March 15 .Now I have offer from company C and I want to join company C. Problem is Company C can give joining in April and my project in company A is almost over and I need to change employer asap.So for time being I am considering to join B and then ultimately C Company C has taken all documents(petition of A as base and as it is my current employer ) and will file visa by 10 March in premium once they receive LCA. My plan is to join B (work for them for one month till i get joining date from C )and then join C . Question 1)If I change my company from A to B after C has filed transfer .Do the visa transfer filed by C will be rejected as I will become employer of B ? and Company C will have to file transfer again this time with petition of employer B ? 2)If I change my company from A to B after C has filed transfer and transfer is approved .Does Company C will have to file transfer again this time with petition of employer B ? 3) Will transfer happen from A to C or B to C ? I am working with A and have not joined B Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 1. A transfer only means a new company is filing a non cap H1 petition for you and getting it approved. First of all it is not visa transfer. It is a new H1 petition filed by the new employer. The previous petitions are immaterial. It is always a new H1 petition non cap when you change employers.

t75 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I am amazed at the behavior of guest workers in the US. Employer B has made commitments based on your joining. Link to comment
wiweq Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 "I am amazed at the behavior of guest workers in the US. Employer B has made commitments based on your joining." There are no commitments from either sides. Jobs are at will. Employer B can lay off/ terminate the employee on the day of joining and they should expect the same from employee too. Doesn't matter if the employee is "guest worker" or USC. Link to comment
das28 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Thanks for reply .. I am amazed at the behavior of guest workers in the US. Employer B has made commitments based on your joining. The reason for not joining B is that it gave me less ctc saying that cost of living is very less in city where project is located .I accepted the offer but after visa was transferred they came up that you need to join at different location 9and new location has high cost of living).I requested them to increase ctc which they denied Link to comment
