Transfer H1b before end of 5 th Yr..

[kishore67]

Hi,

Right now My visa extension(recapture out of USA days) is pending for approval.

Here is my Visa details:

first H1b stamping date: 26 Dec 2006
first arrival date in USA: Apr 27 2007
first 3 yrs of H1b period ->> 26 Dec 2006 to 30 Sep 2009
got another 3 yrs of extension
second 3 yrs of H1b period->> 1 Oct 2009 to 30 sep 2012

I am with same employer from starting(New company acquired the old company)

My employer has applied labor(Perm) on 1 Dec 2011. Unfortunatly USCIS picked it for audit...perm audit is pending, 4 months backlog is there.


So from stamping date to till now. I spent 11 months outside of USA.I am recapturing my period now and Visa extn is pending..
As per my employer i will get visa untill 10 Oct 2013.


Now my question is...

Can I transfer my H1b to another company.If YES. am eligible to start my GC with new company. Please advise.
Thanks.
I got a offer from current project implimentatiion partner.

You can definitly transfer your H1B.
Regarding the GC process, I am not sure.
