  • H1B Visa transfer

    Hi there

    I am currently working on F1-OPT with company A. Company A filed for my
    H1B visa and it got approved, which is yet to start from Oct 2010. But now I
    got an offer from Company B. I have to get my H1 transferred to company B.
    I have informed my current employer(Company A) about this transfer.

    But actually they(company A) are planning to withdraw my H1B visa petition
    from USCIS as I will not be working with them from Oct 2010.
    I would like to know if this will affect my visa transfer. I am not at all aware of
    Immigration rules. Can someone please let me know how it works?

    Thank you so much for the help

    This does not affect your new employer's petition since you are in F1 status.
    This is my opinion and not legal advice.

      Thank you so much for your response.
      I still have few questions regarding this.
      My main concern is if my current employer(company A) withdraws my H1B
      petition does my new employer need to file a new H1B?

      If that is the case then shouldn't I have to make sure that new H1B is filed before H1 cap is reached?

      Please let me know how it works. Also please do suggest me a better way to
      do this, if any?
