My Visa is going to expire in within next two month Sep 30th-2008
My present employer(X) have just applied for extension of my H1B. But My project is terminated within few weeks. I have only 2-3(max) weeks to stay in US with present employer(X).
If I want to transfer my H1 to another company Y, then
1. what is Waiting time for Extension? If I get a receipt number within apprx 15 days then can I take chances for Transfer?
i.e. What is the good/right time to transfer H1 safely and resign from Company X?
2. What is likely percentage that company Y will sponsor my H1 Extension? Or they will prefer present employer(X) to complete the Extension process.
3. In Worst case, does company Y has to file my H1 Extension(fees approx $3000+) and then go for H1 transfer (fees approx $3000+).
In short I want to switch the company with less burden on my pocket.
Thanks in advance
