Hi,
I am in an intriguing situation and would really need some legal advice in this regard.
I had a job offer from a company, let’s call it comp1, which I have accepted and they have started my H-1B visa transfer from my current employer’s name to theirs. The visa transfer should be completed in a day or two. I haven’t joined comp1 yet. Now, I have received another offer from a different company, let’s call it comp2, and due to personal circumstances I really want to accept comp2's offer. I would like to understand what the legal implications of this are.
- If I accept comp2’s offer, does comp2 need to transfer my H-1B from comp1 or does it need to transfer from my current employer? I mean can comp2 not do visa transfer directly from my current company as I haven’t started working at comp1 yet?
- Does comp2 need to know that I have a visa transfer to comp1's name currently in process?
- Can comp1 create any legal difficulties for me if I accept comp2’s offer and join them instead as comp1 will have my H-1B visa transferred under their name very soon?
- Do I need paystubs from comp1 if comp2 needs to transfer my H-1B visa under their name? If so, I don’t have any as I haven’t started working at comp1 yet.
- What other things do I need to be aware of?
Please help!
Thanks!
