H-1B Transfer while in India

[archanag]

I got my H-1B Visa in first week of Dec 2006 from Company A. Now I have permenant offer in Company B. I am planing to transfer my H-1b from Company A to Company B.

My question is, Is it possible to apply for H-1B transfer before me entering into US? I mean when I am still in India. Previously I was in US on L1 and I have my SSN number.

I appreciate if someone could some light in this gray area.


Thanks

--Not possible to transfer H1B when in India, you would have to be in the US for a transfer. Having the SSN is not related to the transfer process.
