    Transfer H1 Before It Is Stamped
    I was on H4 before and since Oct 2007 I started working on H1. Since we haven’t had a chance to go to our home country, my H1 is not yet stamped. I am thinking of switching to some other company. Can I transfer H1 without having a stamp?

    No, you must get your visa stamped and commence working before you can 'transfer' the H1B. But you can apply for a new H1B with the new employer and, assuming your first employer was not cap-exempt, you've already been counted against the cap.
