NRI Playbook

Help with an H-1B transfer, extension, or amendment

An introduction to a licensed immigration attorney for changing employers, extending your stay, or amending your petition.

Changing jobs, moving to a new work location, or reaching the end of your H-1B period each needs a filing with USCIS. The timing matters, because a gap can affect your status and your family's.

What this covers

  • Transfers to a new employer.
  • Extensions, including extensions beyond six years based on a pending green card case.
  • Amendments when your job or work location changes.
  • H-4 status and work permits for your spouse.
