About H1B transfer

USA H1B Visa
1

I got a very Disappointing problem, plz help me…

I applied my H1B this year and approved, it starts from Oct 1st( I think)

And I am laid off from current company( says company A), they give me 4 weeks to find a new job.

My questions, can I transfer my H1B, Oct 1st? Because someone told me I need three three pay stubs… I only have pay stubs under OPT… is that ok?..

THANKS

Hi Tao,

Sorry to hear about your lay-off. But don’t worry - you can transfer your H1-b to a new employer after Oct 1 (once your H1b starts).

Since you have pay-stubs from OPT, that will serve the purpose. You should not have any problems.

I know as almost the same has happened with me, so don’t worry. Just find a good employer and get the visa transferred!

Hi, I was in a similar situation.

I was laid off in August but the original H1B petitioner is not withdrawing until after Oct 1st.
Now I have a new company willing to file for me - I didn’t work for company A on Oct 1st, however, am I still considered cap-exempt since I was counted once and hence can do the transfer right? Any help much appreciated. My situation is very URGENT! Thanks so much in advance.
