What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? (Multistate situation, details given in the message)

I am currently working with company A ( NH based company using my L2 EAD (i.e. dependent on L1). My L2 (EAD) is expiring in next two months and I have already got my H1 from company B (NJ based company). I never worked for company B but I would like to transfer this H1 to my current employer A.

1. Is it possible as I never worked with company B ?
2. If Yes, how long transfer process is going to take?
3. What all documents do I need from company B so that I can transfer it for company A ?

You cannot transfer a H-1B if you are not in H-1B status at the time of the transfer request. Why not just extend your L-2 EAD?

Please let me know if you have any additional questions or if I may be of further assistance to you in this matter.

Still More questions Lana

Thanks for your Prompt Reply.

It won't be possible to extend my L2 (EAD) as my spouse is going back. Does it mean the only options I have:

1). Go back with my Spouse
2). Work for Company "B" for 1-2 months and then transfer to Company "A". Is one month is enough or there is a minumum duration for which I have to work for Company "B".

Please advise in this regard and also if there is any other option available

Thanks
