[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like he has 4-5 months to get himself a job in IT - is that really so impossible esp for someone with experience? I imagine that even if he doesn't get his first choice job or if he has to move or something, he WILL get a job. [/quote]
The employer has to have the ability to hold and pay for the visa. Not every company has that capability.[/quote]

OP here: A transfer petition is a long process unfortunately. To be on the SAFEST side, he can do premium processing of his H1 transfer . He would only have to do this if he transfers his H1 to a different company. We're hoping he gets the job opening he interviewed for today at his current company. His status wouldn't be in danger if he still works for his current company.

OP, I'm not sure if the laws have changed, but the last I dealt with it, H1Bs are portable. That means the transfer petition has to be filed while the current visa is still valid and then he can begin working the day it is filed. You can pay for premium processing but it does not affect his eligibility to work, as long as it is filed before the current one expires. [/quote]
