What are the rules for changing the jobs while on H1b? Is it called transfer of H1b visa and is it free per old rules?

H1B never transfers. It is another new I-129 application that is simply exempted from yearly cap. The application is exactly the same. So you are asking if this fee applies to any other scenario than the 85 K quota /lottery

I don’t think anyone knows a definitive answer to that. But as per FAQ the fee should not apply.

Hi guys, I am in a process of receiving an offer from my current employer’s US Branch. However, the job is gonna be in a different department (M&A) than the one I worked for here (Audit). Would that be an issue with respect to the L1 visa process? Thanks for the advise.

At this point of time, having being waiting for appointments for months, I wonder if there’s any other option ?
