    Question L2 to H1B Visa Transfer

    Dear All,

    This is Laxmi. Here is my situation. I applied my H1B visa from company A in Auguest 2005 got approved and did not go for stamping. I came to USA in September 2005 on L2 visa. I got EAD and started working for company B on full time perminent position. The company B applied H1B for me on 2nd April 2007 ( The day quota opened). Due to huge number of application, I am not sure I will get the H1B.

    My question: Is it possible to transfer the H1B from company A to company B.
    I did not work for company A at all and no paystubs.

    If not possible, Can I work for Company A on L2 visa get the paystubs run on L2 status. Use that paystub to transfer to company B. Is it possible.

    Your advise is highly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Laxmi.

    You've apparently never had your H1B stamped. You can't work on your H1B without getting it stamped.

    You don't have H1b portability until you start working.
