Hello,

 

I am currently working for company ABC on L1 visa

 

My H1B case is selected in April 2015 lottery through company PQR and waiting for approval from USICS.

 

I like to know if I can move/change to company XYZ as soon as I receive H1B approval from USICS. Is there any involvement of company PQR in transferring my H1b to company XYZ?

Please guide

Thank you jairichi for your response!

 

As you said, I can move/change new H1 after Oct 1, do I need to start working for vendor on oct 1 who filed this H1 and only after that I can transfer H1 ? Is it so, please advice.

 

Is there any dependency on vendor who filed my H1 case even after Oct 1st for transferring the H1.

 

thanks in advance.

It is better to work for employer at least a week after which transfer can be initiated. Get s copy of I797 from employer.
