H1B Transfer to new Employer when extesion & amendment is pending

[Swathi_123]

Hello Everyone,

I have a situation wherein my current employer has applied for extension and amendment in Sep 2017 prior to visa expiry, I have received the receipt number for the same. My current visa/i94 is expired in Sep 2017and now my current employer client says there is a change in requirement so i have to look for another client eventually i have to file an amendment. So my question is at this stage can i do a H1B transfer to new employer with existing extension and amendment pending from current employer also has anyone went through this scenario ?

Thanks

Regards
Swathi

If your I-94 has already expired there is high likelihood of any subsequent H1 transfer to be approved only as consular process.

This is my opinion not legal advice.
