Transfer
Need some advice on an H-1B transfer situation.
I am currently working on H-1B transfer portability with Employer A (petition is filed and pending, and I’m already working there based on receipt notice). I’ve now received a much better offer from another large employer and they want to file a new H-1B transfer for me.
My understanding is:
- I was originally cap-counted with a prior approved H-1B
- Employer A’s petition is still pending
- New employer can file a separate H-1B transfer based on my existing cap-counted status
- Once the new employer files and I receive the receipt notice, I can move based on portability
My main question:
If Employer A’s pending petition later gets denied, withdrawn, or approved after I join the new employer, does that have any impact on the new employer’s H-1B petition or my status?
Has anyone gone through a bridge transfer like this from one pending transfer to another?
P.S I have valid I-94 until 2028
Thanks!
