change of employer after i94 expires and extension under processing

[lig226]

Hi  

Currently I work for Employer A under H1B visa and the i-94 is expiring on Sept 24,2015. I have already filed the H1-B extension and it has been pending with USCIS since July 9,2015 and the approval notice is yet to be received.I believe legally I can stay and work for the current Employer A in USA for next 240 days starting from Sept 24,2015. 

Can i change my employer and get a new job with another Employer B after Sept 24,2015 while the extension is under progress filed with the Employer A.

Yes you can file H1B transfer via employer B during those 240 days (Assuming no denial comes during that time for Employer A).

Hope it helps

Hi lig226,

 

I'm also in same situation. my H1 amendment was submitted to USCIS @ July 31, still no update on this.

 

1. As you applied earlier than me, can you pls let me know if you got any update on your case?

2. Also has anyone got approval notice from USCIS which cases were applied on June, 2015? If yes, what are the timelines?

 

Please share few details which will help others.

 

Thanks,
