Hi,
Am in US working since 5 months, have got emergency and need to travell next weekend to india.
I wanted to check whether I can transfer my H1B to another company within 1 week? As my consultancy is about to shut down. And also wanted to check whether I can transfer my H1B in India? And also wanted to know what is the minimum time required for H1B transfer?
Regards,
Shetty
Minimum time would be 3-4 weeks - 2 weeks for premium processing, 1-2 weeks time for attorneys for the paper work. Yes, it can be done from India, but you may have to go for stamping in consulates. Also there is a provision to start immidiately for the new company as soon you’ve got the case number from USCIS for the new H1 application, but it’s not recommended as you don’t know whether your new H1 application will get approved with certainty.
P.S.: It’s my opinion, not a legal advice.
