Hi everyone,

I'm from India and was picked in last year's H-1B lottery. My petition was approved, and I recently received my I-797 via FedEx. However, my current employer doesn't seem very interested in sending me to the U.S.

I'm considering resigning and looking for another employer while my H-1B remains active. My main concern is whether I need to get my visa stamped before transferring to a new employer, or if having an approved I-797 is sufficient for the transfer?

Better u have to stammped u r visa, after that put u r resign and while servicing notice period go to US via any consultancy once u get job then they will transfer u r visa,
Now days us client are only hiring those are in Us on h1b,

In india;
Once u leave u r current company they will revoke u r petition and then u r not able to travel on h1b,but transfer will be possible from big org till u r visa valid.

Team Lead 1 can you confirm did got it transfered?

Scenario: US visa expired in 2021. Applied for a Canadian tourist visa to hopefully go for H-1B stamping in Canada once they open appointments.
Biometrics completed. Haven’t received any comm regarding my tourist visa approval. My partner already revived the visa long ago even if we allied together. Could it be because my US visa has expired? The reason I gave for applying for visitor visa was just for tourism purposes.
