My H1B application was luckily chosen this year, and I’m still waiting for the approval. Now I got an another job offer, similar company similar position but much higher salary. So I was wondering if I can do H1B transfer after the approval but before Oct 1st?
I am in US.
I haven’t started to work yet and am graduating in May. My OPT is on the way and I expect to get it in June.
I saw some discussions here and there. Some says you need 2 month paystub from old company. Some says you don’t.
To summarize, my questions are:
-
Can I do the transfer?
-
If in case the transfer was denied, but I make sure that my old company doesn’t know all this, would there by other consequences? For example, would it still be ok to go to work in the old company?
-
If the transfer is successful, can I use my OPT for the new company (from June to October), or do I have to wait until Oct 1st?
