Reg H1B Transfer

[smilejegan]

Hi Guys

I need some information about the H1B Transfer. Am currently working in L1B (Employer A)Visa and i got my H1B approved last year but i did leapfrog to avoid the change of Status. Now the issue is , my client (Employer B) is willing to take me into their concern. I have H1B with Employer C and i never worked for them. I just have the approved H1B receipt number. Now i want to know the following details.

1. What is the process of changing my H1B from Employer c to Employer B
2. Is it possible that Employer C terminated my H1b as i never joined in their company
3. Will Employer A make any problems in this as am currenly working with this client thru them only.
4. Please shed some light as how can i approach this?

Thanks for your help!!

Cheers

1. What is the process of changing my H1B from Employer c to Employer B

>>>> Your client (Employer B) can file a new petition with COS from L1 to H1B. You can use the approval notice (I-797) from employer C to prove that you are already CAP counted.

2. Is it possible that Employer C terminated my H1b as i never joined in their company

>>>> Possible.

3. Will Employer A make any problems in this as am currenly working with this client thru them only.

>>>> It depends on the agreement that you have with your current employer A.

4. Please shed some light as how can i approach this?

>>>> If the relationship between your client and your employer is good, then let them talk to your employer regarding hiring you into their payrol. Most employers would agree to this, since they don't want to spoil the relationship/future business with the client.

>>>>> You can check the current status in the USCIS web site. However, the status shown in that web site may not be accurate. Btw, why do you care whether it is terminated or not?


2. do i need to get the I-797 approval notice from my employer c or we can use the receipt number? Problem is i dont know how the employer c co-operates to me..

>>>>> You don't need the original approval notice. If you have got the receipt number from your previous employer and if you are 100% sure that the receipt number belongs to you, then that can be used to prove that you are already cap counted.
