What documents have you provided to your new company for H1b transfer?

Passport, most recent I-94, your diplomas and transcripts, all your visas and entry stamps, all prior H-1B approval notices, your I-140 approval notice (if you have one), and most recent paystubs as evidence of current employment and maintenance of status. If you have family members that will need H-4 applications, you should provide their passports, I-94s, all prior approval notices, all visas and entry stamps, and birth/marriage certificates.

If you’ve ever held a J-1 or J-2 visa, you should provide your DS-2019 if available, as well as the J-1 visas and J-1 entry stamps. If applicable, you should also provide the approval notice for the residency requirement waiver IF you were subject to the 2-year rule and applied for the waiver. If you’ve never had a J-1/J-2 don’t worry about it :)

Feel free to also contact the team handling your case as they may have a specific list they’d like! Upon initiation of the case this should have been provided to you anyway.

Yes absolutely! Typically the transfer will include a 3-year extension by default, but if you’re getting close to the 6-year max you may not get a 3 year extension until you get your I-140 approval (and instead only get an additional 1-2 years, or however much time you have left to reach 6 years total). If you already have your I-140 approval, then no worries about totaling more than 6 years in H-1B status :)
