  • H1B Transfer after Extn is approved but not stamped yet

    I got my H1B extension approved last month, till april2018. Currently I am in India, so as per my understanding I need to get it stamped before next travel. Also, my earlier I94 has expired too during last month.
    I have not yet stamped the visa after the extn is done.
    What I want to know is:
    1. if I join another company now, while in India, can I transfer the Extended visa to the new company?
    2. can I raise the stamping request through new company?
    3. do I need to wait till the H1B transfer is done to the new company and go for stamping afterwards?
    4. what documents (related to visa transfer) should I have before leaving the current company?
    5. what could complicate the matter while transferring the visa in this case?
    6. I have travelled to US through my current company and just returned 2 months back.

    I would be really grateful if someone can help me with these queries.

    Thanks a lot.

    1. if I join another company now, while in India, can I transfer the Extended visa to the new company?
    >>> Visa cannot be transferred. Only the H1B petition can be transferred.

    2. can I raise the stamping request through new company?
    >>> petition need to be transferred first. Once the petition gets approved, then you can go for visa stamping.

    3. do I need to wait till the H1B transfer is done to the new company and go for stamping afterwards?
    >>> Yes.

    4. what documents (related to visa transfer) should I have before leaving the current company?
    >>> Copy of all H1B approval notices.

    5. what could complicate the matter while transferring the visa in this case?
    >>> No complications if filed properly.

    6. I have travelled to US through my current company and just returned 2 months back.
    >>> Doesn't matter.

      Could you please elaborate point no 4. Do you mean the h1b extn approval I797 or are there any other documents?
