Hello,
I am on H1-B visa and I recently changed my employer from A to B.
My employer B applied for transfer (regular processing) on 08/26/2015 and I have started working for employer B on 09/14/2015 with the transfer receipt. The transfer petition is still in pending status.
My employer B told me that my H1-B status is clean and advised that premium processing is not needed so I went with their decision to go for regular processing.
I am currently working as a contractor for company C through employer B.
Now company C (US based insurance company) wants to hire me directly for a permanent position and they are also ready to sponsor me a green card.
With my current situation, I have lots of questions going on my mind. Please help me with your suggestions.
1) My employer A revoked my previous H1B petition on 09/28/2015. Since my transfer with employer B is still pending, employer B informed me that this is not a problem as I have 240 days before I get the status of the transfer. Is this right?
2) Can I transfer to company C with company B's transfer petition still in pending status?
3) Can I ask company B to change to premium processing, get a decision and then ask company C to apply for transfer?
4) Can I ask company C to apply for transfer with premium processing by using company B's transfer receipt, get it approved and then change to company C?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Navidh
