H1B transfer

[ravi09]

Hello Folks,

My H1b is 2 and half years old. I transferred it once, i.e in 2007

My brother has got GC a year ago and started his own company. I am planning to transfer it to him.

I have these following questions.
1. What is the risk on transferring my H1 to a new/small company in this recession period, and the employee strength is just one (my brother).
2. Is it ok to transfer more than one time in short period(i.e in 2 years span)?
3. Also, is it acceptable to stay outside US for couple of months on H1 status with out payroll? Will that be a problem at POE when i return to US?
4) Right now i am out of the project (on bench), so will that be any risk of my H1 transfer getting denied ?

Please help!

Best Regards,
Ravi

You are a perfect candidate for USCIS for a denial based on what you said. Being out of status is not ok. Your employer MUST pay you on H1b. That is the law.
