Immigrants - with H1B premium processing feature not available (Trunp's recent law), does it mean, it becomes harder for immigrants to switch jobs? As the visa transfer would take few months.

It's not Trump's law. It is USCIS directive and has happened in the past as well for load balancing. That said, it does make the H1B job switch more risky. You might have to quit your job before you can get a confirmation on the transfer. You may still start with the new employer. However, in case there is a problem with the transfer, you are stranded with no work authorization

Not a fan of the cheeto king, but I doubt this had anything to do with Trump, I doubt if the DHS secretary was involved either. 8 month backlogs are unacceptable, and if this clears it, great. As far as switching jobs goes, it does put us in a bad situation if the new h1b request gets rejected, previously we could wait for the 15 days before quitting

A lot of employers wouldn't take the risk of hiring you without the approval. Personally even I wouldn't take the risk associated with the new H1-b getting rejected for whatever reason. So it does make switching jobs difficult for the next 6 months. I was being offered a really good role at the client, but the complexity of this process would likely screw it up. I'm not sure if I can tell the client to expedite the process and file for my transfer within the next week in premium.

It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
