H1B transfer without stamping

[vdhanshah]

I have a question related to h1b transfer.

I am currently working with company A since 6 years at India branch. Company A has headquarter in USA. I have approved H1B petition and I797 for company B but I have not gone for Visa Stamping yet.

Due to some reasons, I do not want to join company B. I want to work for my current employer A in US branch. Can my current employer A apply h1b transfer now considering I am still in India and my passport is not stamped yet? Is there any risk involved?

I know there might be some settlement I have to pay to company B but that is ok.

Hi,
Yes. You can transfer your H1B to company A if they have Job offer onsite.. Once you get H1B Approval with company A, with that you can go for Visa stamping.
Please make sure, your H1B approval is in last 6 years.
Thanks.
