H1 renewal

[jaganji]

Hi,

My current employer has applied for my H1B extention but its still under process. My employer has got the receipt. Now I have got a better offer from a different employer and I want to get my H1 transfered. Is that possible now? Can my new employer initiate my H1 transfer while its still under process for extention from my first employer?

Please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

---- Yes, it is possible. The H1 transfer may take sometime if it is not a PP. However, you should be able to start working with a receipt. Hope there are no RFE's. Good luck
