    Can You Complete a H1B Transfer Before Working with Any Company
    Hi Guys,

    This is my first post here. I have two questions listed out below:

    1. I have recently got my H1 B approved filed by consultancy X and now I am eligible to work from Oct 1, 2012. However, I have got a different opportunity from company Y and they are ready for H1 Transfer. So my question here is, since I don't have any pay stubs from "X", can company "Y" get my H1 transferred ?

    2. Suppose If I don't start working with "X" neither with "Y" and keep on waiting for opportunity with company Z, can company Z easily transfer my H1, without any pay stubs, even after considerable time has been elapsed from Oct 1, 2012 ?

    Awaiting responses and Thanks much in advance !!

    Regards,
    Saumya

    Re: Information About H1 B Transfer Before Working with Any Company
    If you are present in the US, you are expected to begin working for the employer for which you have an approval notice. If you are not in the US, yo are free to wait for however long you want; however, you MUST have an approval and enter for the employer for whom you actually intend to work. Being in the US on H-1B status and not working is not allowed.

    You may have a contract with your employer which would make you liable for damages for not reporting to work as contracted to do.
