Just got selected from H1b second-round lottery! Very excited but… just got an offer at a different company. Do I need to wait until my H1b at Deloitte gets approved and then request the H1b transfer? Or is there a way for my new employer to file the H1b petition on my behalf, even if they weren’t the ones who did the original registration for me back in March?

Congrats on getting selected! Ask the second company’s immigration team about this. I believe the H1B gets activated in October of the calendar year. Not sure what the interim impact is of switching during “change of status.” I had a friend who got an offer but was advised by the new employer to switch after her H1B was in effect.

You have to wait till October 1, only Deloitte can do the initial filing.

Those selection notices are tied to the employer that filed it. That new employer of yours cannot file an H-1B for you based on that selection notice.

Omg congratulations 🥳🥳

You have to wait until October to file transfer. It takes another month or so to approve. If that other company will wait until November you’re fine.

Thank you everyone for the advice!
