Hi everyone,

I was selected in the H1B lottery last year, and my petition was approved in August 2024. However, my current employer doesn’t have any available opportunities in the U.S., and according to leadership, there’s no plan to send me there anytime soon. My visa stamping hasn’t been done yet.

I wanted to check—can I apply to a different employer at this stage and have them initiate the H1B transfer

Same situation. From what I gather, it is easier to change employers after landing in US or at least after getting stamping done.

Someone please help confirm.

You are right

Stamping done ?

Nope

With out stamp , it's difficult
