What happens if my employer withdraws my H-1B petition after I enter the U.S.—can I transfer to another company?

Question

Sophia Kapoor · Accepted Answer

If your employer withdraws your H-1B petition, you can transfer to another company, but the new employer must file a transfer petition immediately.

Logan Rao · Answer

You may transfer to a new employer if they file an H-1B petition before your current status ends—timing is crucial.

Ava Morales · Answer

Yes, but only if you're still in valid H-1B status; gaps in employment or late filing can complicate things.
