My H1B ends in Aug 2019 and I need to file extension. I’m doing H1B transfer right now and should hear back in a couple months (receipt received in Early Dec). When should I start filing my extension?

How many years are you already on h1b ? If your visa transfer is successful, that grants you visa for next 3 yrs (depends on how many yrs left on your h1b). So that you don’t have to go through visa extension immediately.

So you’re saying that if it’s a successful transfer he/she need not apply for extension? Curious coz I’m in same boat as OP.

My first three years are until August 2019. If I file an extension, I will have another three years till August 2022. I am filing a H1B transfer and waiting for the decision (transfer filed in early December). Did you mean that the transfer will end till 2022 even if I didn’t specifically file for an extension? And if the transfer automatically trigger my extension, I am losing several months for my H1B. How can I get those time back?
