parimal59 Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Hi, I am working with company 'A' and got an offer from company 'B'. submitted my resignation from company A, currently serving notice period of 2 weeks, last date is 21st Nov. Company B has already applied for the H1B transfer and currently with USCIS but didn't receive the receipt number yet but they told I will get it soon. My joining date in company B is on 24th Nov. I am negotiating with another company 'C' and would like to join C if i get that. But apparently it will only be confirmed after 24th Nov (after last day in current company A). Q1. After I join company B on 24th Nov, Can company C initiate H1B transfer, since i will be having only H1B transfer receipt from company B during this period not an approved petition. Any other suggestion to deal with this situation will be very helpful. Thanks. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Yes. Also keep a Lawyer onboard. Link to comment
ashuneel Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 There is no such thing as H-1B transfer. As explained in articles on Murthy website the only thing being transferred is the employee. company C can initiate new H1B petition using receipt notice from company B. Link to comment
parimal59 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Hi Ashuneel, "company C can initiate new H1B petition using receipt notice from company B." - just wondering even it is not approved by the time then also company C will be able to initiate transfer? Thanks for your reply. Link to comment
ashuneel Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Yes. Only problem is if Company B petition is denied the company C petition may be affected. Company C lawyer should know this before recommending filing of petition and also warn of potential problems. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 When does the A I94 expire? That is the only relevant factor. Link to comment

pontevecchio Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 You are covered by what is known as the Bridge of continuity and hence there is no problem. Link to comment
