H1B Visa Transfer

IT HR · September 2008

We have a candidate in our process that currently has an H1B Visa. If we hire he would need to get this visa transfered to us. Anyone have experience with this or have good resources for me to check out? I have never dealt with this before. I have googled this and get a lot of companies that want you to pay money. I have also gone to the govt site, but find it very confusing.

Thanks!

You can request a portable petition through the INS based on the original H-1B dates. The individual can only extend this for a total of six years counting what time they have already been under an H-1B.
