Great video man, I just wanted to know what have you done when it got denied while you have already joined the 2nd company? Please answer this bro. It's urgent.

Thank you so much. I have a question. What if I get a job in company 1a in 2022 and other company 2a in 2023 files for my h1b and it got picked. Now can i transfer my h1b visa from 2a to 1a as I think I can stay with 1a????????

11:20 There's no such thing like 90 days bucket or quota, what I mean is If you transfer h1b and used 30 days before joining next company doesn't mean that you left with 60 days now to find another future company

Hi Can I transfer from Employer A to Employer B before coming to US. If yes what's the process . And wat docs are required.

Yeah, covid time is so terrible. I got laid off. I asked my previous employer to extend my employment period for severance period. Then I got my first job offer but was discriminated based on my country of origin and the job offer was rescinded. I had to look for a job again. Luckily, I got it and my start date is in 45 days after my official date of layoff. I hope tomorrow the company will finalize the I-129 application and everything will OK. The LCA was already received.

You said H1B visa has to be revoked as soon as one resigns. But if it has already been transferred then can it still get revoked?

Hi , This video gives good idea about the process. Thank you. I have one question, i have 3 offers in hand and i got signed an offer. In cade if h1b transfer got an rfe or denied shall i stay with my current employer with old h1b ?

Hi - If my Current employer applied for H1B renewal , in this proces - can i do H1B transfer with other company

Can u guide how to proceed.. I am on F1 - OPT Employer A sponsored my visa application.I was working till Oct end 2021 with employer A.. by Now I have changed my job and working for employer B from Mid_ Nov 2021... My H1B lottery is picked in 3rd lottery in Nov 19th 2021.. Now how do I proceed to get my H1B approved.. Regards Kindly guide me

10:50 This is not true. The 60 day grace period gets replenished every time you join a new job (every time you get a new validity rather, and H-1B transfer counts as a new validity). For example, a person has left job A. Now they have 60 days to find job B. Let's say the person waited 10 days to join job B. After they join job B, their 60 day quota gets replenished. If they get fired or decide to leave job B, they will have FULL 60 days to find job C, NOT 60-10=50. It's not a fixed 60 day quota for the rest of your H-1B life. So people can take breaks before joining a new company if they want to. Please post a correction. You're unnecessarily worrying people with this false information.

Very detailed videos and common problems are presented in a very proper way. I have one querry. Lets say my position in first employer is IT Engineer and i want to transfer to my H1B visa to an employer offering me Position “Electrical engineer” though my bachelor degree is in Electrical engineering. Will i get transfer or my transfer application will be denied. Kindly clarify it for me please

You get new set of 60 days with every new h1b application (for example you switch from company A->B, and then in future, company B->C, you get a new set of 60 day grace period). Please correct that information.

This is huge help. I am an H1B candidate who has not worked for the last 3 months (because I was on unpaid leave) and has not been in the US. For the last 1 week, I have been in the US and my 60 days period is running out. What if I got an offer from some other company and they are ready to transfer my case with premium processing? Does it affect my transfer case because as of now I am not getting paid by my employer? I discussed this with my employer as well but they don't want to run my payroll until and unless I found a new project. Is it possible to take a transfer in this case? Because I was on unpaid leave and not in the US and for the last 1 week I am in the US but not getting paid. Any kind of guidance/help is highly appreciated

@Edflight

H1B transfer is initiated after you accept the job offer. People don’t accept two jobs at the same time. So there will just be one employee that will file petition for you. However, I have heard that some consultancies do this kind of business - filing multiple H1B cases. In the past people have done that and got away with it, but in the recent times USCIS have become more stringent on cracking such multiple or duplicate petitions for the same beneficiary. If caught, it can result in permanent denial or ban. In addition, it is not ethical as well to file two petitions because 1) You are trying to increase you chances by reducing the chances of all others 2) if picked up in both the petitions, you will be wasting one visa. Basically wasting someone else’s chance. On you second part of question: you can stay on your current job, but your freedom will be limited. 1. Cannot renew the DL 2. Cannot leave the country And there are others thing that will get impacted as well.

Now coming to transfer I got offer last month with new employer and I need to go for transfer . Right now I am only in USA and then they can do only my transfer because my wife never been in USA . If i go to India with approved Petition then I will get stamp with new employer but my wife will hold the visa with previous employer . While travelling from India should my wife again go for update visa with new employer because she got validity till another two years with my old employer .

@@Nikhil20013 I am not a attorney and this is not a legal advice. But here is what my thoughts are. 1. You can ask you wife to come to USA with the current visa stamping. As you know visa is only required to enter the country, I797 is the actual immigration document in her case that should be valid all the time her stay in USA. Now while she is in USA, you guys can initiate the H1B transfer. Once the transfer is done, then next time when you go back to India, you both can have new visa stamps. In this case you both be able to live in USA as long as you i797 is valid, irrespective of your visa stamp. 2. You can initiate your H1 B transfer now. Get the new I797, and later file for your wife H4 transfer. This you can do by yourself or can’t attorney can help you with this. For h4, you don’t need any sponsorship from any employer. Bet keep in mind, in the second case, your wife will have to wait for the new I797, that may take 4-8 month based on current times. And it cannot be premium processed. These are the two possible scenarios I could think of. Again if there is another way, I don’t know that. I hope this is helpful. Good luck !!

Not sure if rules have changed temporarily due to COVID.

It depends upon case by case. If your previous visa is expired (first 3 yr) and you want to travel outside usa, You DO need a visa stamp. On the other side, if you just want to remain within usa for rest of your H1B time, you don’t need that stamp. Remember visa is just a documents that you need while crossing the boarder. Your legal status is defined by I797. That has to be valid all the time while you are inside usa. So again, it really depends case by case. Hope this is helpful.
