H1B Transfer

[ssatapat]

Hi ,

I have a H1B stamped from Employer A. I have never traveled to USA using the same. Due to some concerns I will have to resign and join Employer B.
Employer B is ready to transfer my H1B.

Below are my concerns

1- Can Employer A revoke/cancel my visa
2- If yes what impact will it have when Employer B tries to transfer
3- What are the timelines and fees for transfer

1. They can only revoke their petition, they cannot physically cancel the visa in your passport.
2. No impact to you. Do keep copies of the I797 approval notice .
3. B can file cap exempt petition using the copy of I797. It can take 2-4 weeks for their own petition to approve , if done in premium, if done under normal processing can take 2-4 months. Provided no RFEs. As for cost it depends on their legal costs, can range from few hundreds to thousands. You should not be paying those as it's illegal to do so.

This is my opinion not legal advice.

I am having valid H1 and visa stamped with with validity 3 yrs for empyer A . But till now not travelled to USA.

Now i have an oppurtunity from another Emoloyer B in USA and they told me they will do my H1 transfer in premium.

Or i need to go for visa stamping again?
