H1 to H4 To H1 transfer -Urgent

[SNAmb]

Hi, I am currently in India and have Valid H1 B with employer A. My husband is in US and I intend to Travel soon.

I have 3 options:
1. I get my H4 from husband's company and travel to US and then find an employer B and get H1 with Employer B.

2.I travel with H1 from Employer A convert to H4 and once I get Employer B file for H1 again.

3.I travel with H1 from Employer A and if I get Employer B file for H1 transfer.

My question is as below:
In all 3 cases which is preferable and will my new H1 be filed out of cap.Will I have to return back to India for stamping before I join B.

All three are feasible. New H1 petition will exempt from cap.
For options 2 and 3, you must be working for A while in the US, until change of status or transfer gets filed.
For options 1 and 2 you cannot begin working for B until B's petition gets approved.

Also, for option 2 and 3 how long you would be working for employer A before initiating a transfer to B? In my opinion at least 2-3 Pay cycles should ease the transfer otherwise may raise RFE.

This is my opinion not legal advice.

thanks a lot for your quick answers.
I have 2 more question..
Once a person has H1 B is her visa always exempt from cap next time around? regardless of whether it goes from H1 to H4 back again or H1 transfers?
Will I have to return back to India for stamping before I join B in any of these cases?

You will be cap-exempt until you spend 6 years in the US in H1 status.
