  • I797B: transfer before stamping

    I am currently working on OPT-STEM (F1 status). My H1B got approved in Oct 2012 and I have received an I797B notice. I have not got the visa stamped yet. Is it possible that I can change companies and the new company can get an H1 transfer for me before I get the H1 visa stamped?

    Yes, another company can certainly file a cap-exempt petition for you. Also, if H1 is approved as change of status (with I-94) then your status H1 now and not F1.
    This is my opinion and not legal advice.

      Thank you, kabkaba. My H1 is however approved without change of status. I received I797B without I-94 card. I am curious if I797B interviews are different than those for I797C. Is it more rigorous and invites more scrutiny?

        It does not make any difference.
