What happens if an employee in H-1B status wants to switch employers?
If a employee in H-1B status wants to switch employers, the new employer must file a petition for H-1B status with the INS. The individual may commence work for the new employer when the new employer has received a Notice of Action from the U.S. C.I.S. confirming receipt of the petition. This applies only to employees who have already been granted H-1B status with another employer.
