URGENT REQUEST: H1B Visa Transfer

[d]

My old employer shut its doors a month ago (but haven't informed INS since
the company assets are still in the process of being liquidated).

I now have an offer from another company.

1. Is it possible to do a H1B transfer or do I need to apply for a new
visa? (My last paycheck is a month old). Any pros and cons?
2. If I have to apply for new visa through premium processing, do I have to
return to my home country (India) or can I simply continue to work after the
new H1B approval?

Thank you in advance for your help.

You are out of status. If you already have a new employer lined up, it
will probably be possible to apply for a transfer and ask INS to
excuse you falling out of status. Have the new employer hire a
competent attorney and ask him for guidance.

It depends on whether INS excuses you falling out of status. In any
case, since you are out of status, you won't be able to use the
transfer provision, and would have to wait for approval of your H-1B
before you can start working.
