Currently in RFE stage for my H1B renewal. The RFE was to prove my current duties match my education. However, my wife and I have filed for Green Card with employment authorization. The green card application is under review and I’m expecting updates in coming weeks. Then, I am currently interviewing for a manager role and in the final 4th interview round. I plan to use either my H1B transfer or GC EAD, which ever comes first. What should I do here? Can I secretly transfer my H1B ?

Considering that my H1B has RFE, is it possible to work with my new employer to transfer my H1B first before giving my 2 weeks notice to current employer? Or should I wait for the GC EAD, then use it for new employer ? Please advise

GC EAD processing will follow its own timeline and there is no fixed ETA. Your second job interview for manager role is still work in progress. For me these are two unknowns at the moment.
So I would take one step at a time. Take action on the known. Prepare documentation for the reply to RFE. Also do not give notice to your current employer till you get h1-b approval.
Meanwhile if you get the manager role, then you can file another h1-b transfer (or use your GC-EAD if it is approved by then)

Hi Fishes,

My last working date with TCS is on 4th March 2022 and now they are offering me 80% hike and Canada onsite opportunity and telling that will initiate visa as soon as I take resignation back and also ready to provide written confirmation. On the other hand I have an offer from IBM of 120% hike fixed and performance bonus would be there which I am not considering now.

Which one would be better? please suggest based on your knowledge and experience.
