Re: H1 Transfer

Thank you for your inquiry. There is no minimum period that you need to be employed with any particular H-1B employer. It is very, very important that you do not have a break in your employment. You may begin working for your new employer the day the USCIS receives your H-1B transfer application as you are currently in H-1b status. Please feel free to contact me directly if I may be of further assistance at 619.781.8207.

Sincerely,
