Hi,

I am currently employed on an H1-B that is valid until 2007. I have an offer from another company - do I need to leave the US for a H1-B transfer?

How long does this process take (before I can start at my new employer)?

Would greatly appreciate your help.

Thanks!

No, you dont have to leave US when doing the H1 transfer. Once you file your petition and you receive a letter from USCIS about your H1 transfer you can start working immediately.
