H1 Visa Transfer Approval Time (State of VA)

seekadvice

Registered Users (C)
A friend of mine who is a Registered Occupational Therapist is currently working on his H1 in Maryland. He is looking for opportunities in Virginia.

Q1. Could any one advice on the amount of time its taking for the H1 Transfer approvals these days?
Q2. Once he gets a job in VA. Can he immediately start working after filing for the H1 transfer or does he have to wait for the Transfer approval?

Appreciate your inputs and time.

Thanks in advance.
