OPT to H1B and transfer

[kautilya]

I am on OPT until December 1. I have applied for H1B with my current employer with a start date of December 1. I got approval. Can I transfer the H1B to another employer before December 1 while still working for the current employer until December 1?

yes, u can.

yeah u def can.
But there's a rule that you need to have atleast 2 paychecks with any employer to get your H-1B or to get it transfered. If your new employer is cool about it, its fine. you need to check with them first though.
