  • H1B Transfer Options for 1 month

    Hi,

    This is the scenario:

    Am currently on H1-B with company A. I am looking to join company B in India, which has a strong US presence.
    Now, company B is exploring the option of having me spend some time (1 month) in the US to familiarize myself with the processes/systems and have a few knowledge transfer sessions.

    Among these options, which one is more apt -

    - Transfer H1-B from Company A to Company B and then shift to India ? My I140 is in approved stage

    - Convert H1-B to B1 visa ?
    - Is this any faster than H1B to H1B transfer?
    - Can one get a H1B to B1 visa transferred without having to leave the country?

    - Quit company A and join company B without an H1 transfer?
    - Is this allowed or ok for a short duration like 1 month?

    - Any other option?

    Any pointers will be really helpful. I am not really keen on coming back to the US, so maintaining my H1 status is not really a high priority.

    Thanks.

    I would say file transfer from Company A to Company B.

    This is my opinion not legal advice.

      Thanks Raghvi. Are you referring to H1-to-H1 transfer to H1-to-B1 transfer from Company A to B

        H1 to B1 would take Months. H1 to H1 can happen much quicker, if filed in premium within 2-3 Weeks.

        This is my opinion not legal advice.
