Hi all,
so here is my situation...I was on student visa until recently and now a company applied for my h1 and I, on checking the online status came to know that it has been approved....now I am getting another better offer in a company and they are ready to transfer my h1...my doubt is what is the procedure and since I am with this consulting company for only 2 months. I suspect they won’t allow me to leave that easily...the thing is I don’t even have the hard copy of my visa. and other document that may come with the approval notice...so any one please guide me what steps should I take so that I can get my h1 transferred ..Without letting my current employer know about it. and is it possible. Or more importantly is it advisable to do such a thing.

Thanks in advance..

You need to have H-1 approval notice from your employer in order to transfer. Since the Cap is over you can't apply for New H-1. So, ask your employer to send you the H-1B doc after they receive it. I suppose you did not started working for the H-1b company, you might not need paystubs to transfer. Anyway, contact a good attorney to do your transfer.
 
well thats the problem ..i dont think my employer will give me the documents ...fearing that i may leave him..is there any way i can initiate the transfer with pay stubs and EAC number(reciept number)

thanx for replying.
