Laid off in November 2025, I-140 Approved, H1-B I-797 validity is till January 1st week 2026 (haven’t renewed or extended), converting to B2 for stay

Can my next employer be able to transfer H1-B post validity ends (January 2026)?
Does it needs to go through lottery again?

Your Insights and experiences are highly appreciated.

My understanding is that once i140 is approved , you dont have to go through lottery again. But I would ask an expert / lawyer.

No lottery. New employer can file an H-1B COS, but there's some risk to having two pending COS. You'll need to discuss with your new employer. But you don't have to go through the lottery again.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

So my partner will be getting laid off 4/15. 🥺

Let the games begin, and may the odds be ever in your favor.

Just venting. College friend (same ethnicity but came to US with family as a kid) told me she might get a new job offer w a smaller firm, 50% pay bump. We currently work at comparable big firms but her pay is already higher than mine (hers include stocks, mine doesn’t). We did equally well in college & I know I’m just as smart. Can’t help but feel like my career’d have been much better if I did not need sponsorship. Smaller firms don’t sponsor so I work at a big firm but pay isn’t great 🙄
