H1B transfer questions

HI All

First, I'd like to say THANKS to the experts who have provided the info., guidance and help in this forum. I've already been benefited while reading some threads. Here I have an additional question to ask in my particular case, about the time period before I can transfer the H1B visa.

My situation is: I transftered H1B to Company A (the VALID FROM date in the Approval Notice is 08/30/2006). I already started the work in this company in the early Sept. For some reasons, this job does not work well. I have to change job again.

My quesiton is how long I have to work for this company before I can transfer the H1B visa again? I see different opinions from different resources. some website forum says 6 months, some says need 4-5 paystubs which is 2-3 months in my case. Does CIS has a fixed date on this? I couldn't find such info in CIS's website. I'm trying to avoid the risk of being denied for my next visa transfer.

Thanks very much!

You can transfer an H-1B any number of times - there is no limit on transfers. There is no minimum time you must wait between transfers, but you must work for your company long enough to get a salary stub, probably a month. The websites you are seeing may be addressing different situations, or may be addressing practicalities and experiences not reflected in the law itself but which make life easier when applying to the USCIS for transfer - provide links so people can take a look.

Many thanks to Mr. Knowitall!

Just FYI, here is the link talking about the time period before H1B transfer.

It is in the answer to the second question scenario that says "H1B transfer cannot be worked out unless the person has atleast 3-4months of salary slips." (you can search this sentence in the web page, it will point you there.) It seems this applies to this particular case but also sounds like a general rule.

I have also seen a Chinese website that 6 months is needed to prove to the INS that the INTENT to the current transfer is true. (But I am not able to find a link in the official site.)

I believe the distinction is that the person who is the subject of that question is not in the United States. If you also aren't in the United States, the longer period probably applies.

Thanks! It seems I will have no problem transfering the visa again working only one or two months in this company since I am physically in the states. I do appreciate your applies.
