I worked for this company ABC (Civil Engineering Firm) for about 19 months. Eventually due to some problem the company was split into two halves say ABC and XYZ (both civil engineering firms).
I am still employed by ABC but have received a better offer from XYZ. XYZ is a smaller firm than the original company though they are hiring aggressively. If I decide to work for XYZ I will be working on the same project that I have been working for since the past 19 months, have the same office and my project manager will remain the same. In the long run XYZ appears to be more stable and offering better incentives.
Now I am on my OPT extension which will last till Nov 1, 2011. I will be applying for my H1B soon. I was wondering if there is any problem if I apply for my visa with XYZ which is less than a year old at this point.
Note that both ABC and XYZ firms work for the state of NJ. Also I received my masters from USA.
