If you do it before 10/1/07, it would not be a transfer but a new petition that is not subject to the H-1B quota since in order to be able to transfer status, you must be IN that status to enable you to transfer it to another employer. After 10/1/07, you can only transfer the status if you are already working for the initial employer in H-1B status.

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

Confused

I just called an other lawyer to verify whether we can do a transfer before 10/07

He said it is safe to do it after oct 1 but not before that....I donot y,

It's only a TRANSFER after 10/1/07 IF YOU ARE WORKING FOR THE ORIGINAL EMPLOYER AT THAT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!! Otherwise, it is NOT a transfer. At this time, you can do a new petition that is not subject to the quota (I do these all the time for my clients nationwide) so there is no issue.

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