H1B Transfer on OPT
Hi
I have been workign with Company 'A' form past one year -first as
intern and then as full time employee.Currently I am on OPT which will
expire in December 2006.My Current Employer 'A has applied for my H1B
visa which will be valid from Oct 1st.I have recently got an offer
from Company 'B' and then want me to start workign from Sept 1st.2006.
Can I transfer my H1B to Company 'B' before Oct 1st? I do have all the
current pay stubs till now from Company 'A' COmpany 'B' is not ready to
sponser my new H1B but then they are ready to transfer it.
Can I transfer it before Oct 1st or only after Oct 1st? Will there be
any issues in transfer?

No. You don't have H-1B status to transfer until you start working for
A as an H-1B on or after October 1st.

You can transfer after you become an H-1B on October 1st. They will
want proof that you are an H-1B at the time of the transfer, so best to
wait one or two pay periods after that.

Can i travel India if my H1B transfer is under process
Hello,
I got H1B visa stamped in 10/21/2004 and valid until 09/30/2007 from
company A and came to US in 05/10/2005 and worked on a project for 6
months and after that on bench for 6 months. Then I got a project from
company B and they field H1 B transfer in 06/26/2006 and got my WAC
number, but still I didn't get my approval documents. Now my question
is, can I travel to India in September even without approval documents
.If yes, I need to go for stamping again at the time of return to US. I
heard that I can travel at any time without go for stamping for
company B as my first Company A visa is valid until 09/30/2007. Is
this correct? If I can travel to India what are all the necessary
documents I need to show at port of entry.
And how can i chech Company A visa status.
Can you please suggest me as soon as possible?
Regards,
Venkat

H1B Transfer on OPT
I have this situation before me. My OPT started from Dec 2006 and will expire on Dec 2007. My company A applied for H1-B through advanced degree quota and I have got it. I would like to change the company now to company B. Do I have to wait until my H1-B actually starts from Oct 2007 or can I change my company A now itself which I am interested in. I have allready paystubs from company A. Please advise me whether it’s possible or not. I spoke to USCIS on phone and asked for suggestion, they replied that I can do so provided my employer files for labor condition application and new H1-B form. I am waiting eagerly and anxiously for your reply as I have to make a decision now. Thank you very much.

Company B cannot request your H-1B to be transferred until you have
effectively worked for company A in H-1B status, i.e. after Oct 1.
However, since you have already been counted towards the H1-B quota for FY
2007, company B can file a *new* H-1B petition for you. Note that you won't
be able to start work with company B until Oct. 1.

Your OPT EAD allows you to work for any employer in an occupation that is
related to your field of study.
I don't think you need to use Premium Processing. You do not need the
approval of the new H-1B until Oct. 1.

Re: H1B Transfer on OPT
Jozef, Thanks for your replies. the reason I am interested in premium processing is because of any surprises. In case it is denied or something like that. In that event I will continue in my present company.
Do you see any valid resons for them to deny my petition?. Have you seen thses kind of cases before?. Please advise me. Thanks a lot.

From what you stated I really don't see how your petition could be denied.
In any case, since you will be having two separate H-1Bs, you can work for
either company.

Re: H1B Transfer on OPT
The new H1-B will be based on the earlier H1-b I have, so how do I collectively have 2?. Thanks again.
