H1B Transfer possible?

[nullvoider]

Hi All,

I am working in a service based organisation. Last year my company processed my H1 visa and I got it stamped on October last year. Now, they are looking for a client project to send me to USA but there are no requirements from any of our clients. I do not think they will have anything for me in future as well. So, can I move to another company and get the visa transferred to them?

I heard that the transfer is not possible if I have never been to USA on H1B.

Since your H1 has been counted under the cap, you can get another employer to file for a cap exempt H1 for you.

however, with premium processing suspended right now, does that mean he will not be to work until it gets processed i.e. multiple months from now? Checking because I am in the same situation

however, he won't be able to work until the new H1B is processed correct? and this could 6 months since premium processing is disabled. asking since I am in the same situation
