hi
I have been on valid H1B for almost 3 years now. My first 3 years of H1B with company A expires on May 15, 2008.
Now I have an offer with company B.
Company B is willing to do a H1B transfer and renewal.
My question is this:
In order to be able to join company B without any problems what is required ?
a. Should I get H1B transfer and extension approved before joining
company B?
b. Should I just make sure USCIS receives the application packet for
H1B transfer with renewal before my current H1B expires ( May 15, 2008)
c. Should I not only make sure USCIS receives the application packet
but also make sure that I have received the receipt ( not the
approval , just the receipt) before my current H1B expires ( May 15, 2008)
According to the note on H-1B Visa Portability on immihelp.com:
A H1B non-immigrant may begin working for a new H1B employer as soon as that new employer files a "non-frivolous" H1B petition on the non-immigrant's behalf and
- the non frivolous petition for new employment was filed before the end of
their period of authorized stay
What does the term "filed" denote here?
Can somebody please answer my questions?
