What documents should I ask my present employer to make the H1B transfer to a new company smoother?

Just make sure you have your pay stubs that’s about it.

There is no such thing as a transfer. It’s a new petition that is cap exempt

Lol nothing!

What?!

All documents that your new employer needs should be able to provide by yourself without reaching out to your current employer
Main documents they need for example
1. Education certificates
2. Current I 797 copy
3. Last 3-6 month paystubs whatever
4. Passport details, previous visa stamping copies etc
4. Past I 797 copies if applicable

Just reach out to your new employer and figure out what you need to give them. I am very certain that you don’t have to ask anything from your current employer..

Hey all - couple question for anyone working at PwC who has been successful in filing their green card under the EB1-C category. How long did you have to wait to get the process started and did you need to get any approvals? I am currently on an L-1A visa and was told by the immigration team that they wouldn’t start the process until I have been with the US firm for 12 months and typically they would start the process 3.5 years prior to the max visa date. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
