Been offered a new job and the company said they will transfer my H1B -
hooray! This means I won't have to deal with the EAD stress (I hope!)

Does anyone know how long the transfer process takes and how it works?
Also, my H1B and passport are in my maiden name (I got married in May).
Will that be a problem? Will I have to get up passport changed before I
can transfer my H1B? Lots of questions!

Thanks in advance!

----- you need recent 2-3 paystubs from your current employer and new
company lawyer files H1 transfer with USCIS and once you get the H1
filing reciept from USCIS you can join new employer, how much time it
will take depends on the service center where lawyer is giong to file H1
transfer it may take 3-4 months to get H1 transfer approval notice


Also, my H1B and passport are in my maiden name (I got married in May).

Will that be a problem?

------Not a problem, keep the Maiden name as on Passport and the
previous H1 approval notice.


Will I have to get up passport changed before I can transfer my H1B?

--- no need to get passport changed
