USA H1B Visa
1

HI,

I have a Valid H1 with my Employer and It got approved on Jan 28, 2013 but still my employer not able to find a project for me. Meanwhile a new employer is willing to transfer my H1 and he is ready to put me in a project Immediately. I have a Valid I-94 as well in my 1-797A.

  1. Can I trasnfer the Visa. Is it advicable.

  2. Will I face any problem from my old employer in this process.

Thanks in Advance.

So you are inside US on H-1 status i.e. your latest I-94 has H-1 annotated on it?

Are you getting paid while on H-1 status?

Hello Saan,
Mine is almost similar case. I have h1 b visa approved for 3 years. But employer does want me join right now due to some reasons. I have never travelled to US on my H1B visa. Is it possible to get this transferred to another company in US? Will it required Visa stamping again ? How it went in your case? Please share your experience.
