[talasila80]

All
What happens to my H1 if the name of the company I am currently working for changes?? Do I need to adjust my status in anyway or re-apply for transfer??
Appreciate your help
Thanks in advance

Probably nothing. You can keep some official notification that the name has been changed with you.

Mergers or acquisitions do not need a new LCA or petition for H1b as long as the interests of prior company are assumed by the new company and the job requirements for the alien remains the same after the change.

For stamping purpose, a mere letter from the new employer mentioning this would suffice.

The legal authority related to this issue can be found in Section 214(c) of Nationality and Immigration Act (8 U.S.C. 1184(c)), which reads: "An amended H-1B petition shall not be required where the petitioning employer is involved in a corporate restructuring, including but not limited to a merger, acquisition, or consolidation, where a new corporate entity succeeds to the interests and obligations of the original petitioning employer and where the terms and conditions of employment remain the same but for the identity of the petitioner." (See INA § 214 (c) (10)).
