I-797 B Consular Process and Switching Employers

Hello,

My H1B was selected in the second lottery by my employer, my employer is willing to file my H1B under consular processing (I-797B), and they plan to start the filing this week.
I have a valid visa until July 2026, and I am now on an OPT visa.

I have a few questions about this:

1. However, I have now received a full-time job offer from another employer, and I am considering switching to this employer.
2. Is it possible to change to the full-time employer while my H1B consular processing is underway with my current employer, or do I need to stay with the same employer?
3. Is it possible to transfer the I-797B consular process from my current employer to a new employer once it's approved.
4. In the interim, can I fly to India and return in a month? Are there any problems with immigration when coming to the United States?

Please help me with your suggestions/input; it will be really beneficial to me.
Thank you very much for your responses.
