6 months before the expiry

If you are doing with Seyfarth, I would say start now. Since you can apply 6 months before expiry, have them work on documents now as they take infinite time to do this. In my case they initiated the process in November and sent out actual petition on April 15th, whole my original H1B was expiring mid may

4-6 months before expiry. Ask for premium processing. You’ll get to know the decision in 2 weeks

Does it matter if I don’t meet the specific job requirements when transferring H1B? The job posted requires CPA license but I haven’t got it. The employer is still willing to hire me. I know for PERM process, meeting minimum requirements is important but not sure if H1B have such requirement. I heard that for H1B as long as it’s a position requiring bachelors degree and specifically occupation that should be fine. But kinda worried about this.
