Can someone help me with the following situation?
1. what's the process to change the employer before coming to US
(or after coming to US) ?
2. when the six years of H1b circle starts? like from the day I
cross the US borders? or from the day I got the stamp?
3. I have given 2 years stamp in my passport. Why they haven't
given it for 3 years instead?
(or after coming to US) ?

Hi Witty,
What if another employer in the USA needs to sponsor me for the visa.
The employer who has sponsored me at the moment do not have a project
assigneed. Therefore my current company would like to give me an
company transfer to the US. can I work with my current branch company
in the US using the same H1-B visa? Can I change the employers and
get a Hi-B transfer from the previously sponsored company to the
current company's branch in the US?

I am not 100% sure, but I am thinking there is no "transfer" of the H1 visa...if you have a completely new employer from the one who did your first H1, and it's a different company than the one you work for now, you would need a NEW H1 visa. Hopefully someone can confirm this.

Re: Can someone help me with the following situation?
I agree with Noorah101, a new employer requires a new H1B. These are not transferable.
