Answer

Yes, you can change employers on H-1B through the H-1B transfer process:

  • New employer files a new H-1B petition
  • You can start working for new employer once petition is filed (portability rule)
  • No need to wait for approval if previous H-1B was valid
  • Premium processing recommended for faster approval

Important: Make sure your new employer files the petition before your current H-1B expires.
