H1 transfer through Consultancy

[harch]

Hello Everyone,

I have a H1B valid till jun 2011 from my current employer.I got an offer from another employer but they are not willing to transfer my H1.

Will my H1 gets wasted if i join the new employer? Can i transfer it to another company (Company C) after I leave my first company?

Also want to know pointers to well known consulatancies who can place me in a job in US and take care of the H1B transfer process..

F.Y.I My job profiles is Windows server Admin and I am from Hyderabad.

Thanks in Advance

You can work on corp-to-corp basis with employer B.
i.e., B pays to A, and A pays to you.

You can work for any employer with H1 transfer.

Thanks sk4ih!

Will corp-to-corp basis is a good option and will employers agree for that?

You can work for any employer with H1 transfer.
Can i come back to company A after i leave it (suppose 3 months) and ask them for a h1 transfer?

1) Good option. Many people do this.

2) If leave the company, you will lose H1 status, and you have to leave the country.

>>>>> If your new employer is not willing to transfer your H1b, then you cannot work for this company unless you do Corp-Corp. Which means, you still be employed with your current employer. But you work for the new employer as a consultant. Your new employer pays your current employer and your current employer takes a good amount of $$$ out of it and pays you the rest.

>>>>> You cannot join the new employer directly without doing an H1b transfer. You need to do a transfer first before you leave the current employer. Otherwise you will go out of status.
