Hi, everyone. I have a question regarding my current h1b petition. I got H1B visa approved during this April (I am a teacher.) However, I got an offer from a better school. My question is : Can I transfer h1b to this new school before h1b takes effect? If I can, is there any risk I might need to consider? My OPT will expire at the end of August.
I have checked many answers from this forum and other websites. Many said I can transfer but I can only work for new school after Oct 1st. Some one said I can even work for new school before Oct.1. I checked policies regarding filing new h1b petition. It keeps saying under h1b status. I guess I am not h1b status since it didn't take effect, right?
