My H1B extension will be filed shortly (current visa exp 10/30). If I were to change jobs now, can my new employer file for h1b transfer while pwc extension is in progress? Has anyone experienced something similar before?

Yes the new employer can apply. It does not matter even if current employer retires to extend. The one thing that I would care about is the time taken to get approval. Did the new company provide you a timeline?

Premium processing has been halted by Mr. Orange for at least 6 months. Job switch at this time means you have to wait at least 3 months before you hear back about the approval notice. Practitioners usually switch as soon as a receipt number is received with the hope that h1b will be transferred successfully. In case of a rejection of transfer, you could risk your status in this country.

I'm still in the interview process so not sure of timeline. H1B extension is being filed this week or after.

Don't resign until paper work in pristine order

Context I am planning a switch from analyst to data scientist from a non US location to US. However, L4 is needed for this jump (prob due to visa issues). With the current revamp in PSC cycle, I am not sure if I can successfully get promoted by next year and make the jump. To do so, I heard there needs to be 2 EE (for this half and next half).

I spoke with a recruiter recently about a position in her company and before we even began talking about the job, she asked if I needed an sponsorship, I told her no, I dont need one. But she continued to press on the subject until I had to tell her I was a US citizen. I dont know why, but the whole conversation made me extremely uncomfortable. So my question is, can recruiters ask you about your visa/immigration status even when I told her I didnt need a sponsorship??
