Requesting advice here..
I've got my first H1B stamped with my first employer in Aug 2017 and got it transferred to the second employer in Feb 2020. Unfortunately I couldn't travel to the US with both employers and I'm employed with a third employer now. Can someone please suggest my H1B visa is still active and I can get it transferred with my current employer? I haven't travelled to the US yet.

Yes your new employer needs to file a cap exempt petition and if your visa stamp is expired on your passport from your previous employer you can go for stamping once you have your I797 from your third employer

Thanks for your response. I also got the similar notion.

Do we need to get the previous employer consent for transfer?

You should have your I797 copies at least for initiating transfer. I am not sure if you can transfer if your visa isn't stamped check with your company immigration team they will help

Hey, Did you get your H1B transferred from one employer to other even before traveling to US? Is this possible? I got my H1B approved in 2023 but my employer doesn't have any new projects in US and hence I'm not able to travel. Can I get a new employer and get H1B transferred even before traveling??

Yes, you are only allowed to travel US when your H1B Visa is stamped with your current employer. If you change the employer, you can ask them to transfer your H1B visa on their name and get it stamped again.
