Lateraling while on H-1B
Does anyone have experience lateralling while on an H-1B, or know of anyone who has gone through this process?
Currently applying to lateral spots and would appreciate any insight.

The firm you choose to lateral to would just apply to have your H1-B transferred, which is a relatively straightforward process in comparison to applying for an H1-B visa from scratch (there’s no quota, etc.). Happy to answer any specific questions you have.
Thanks! Do I have to wait for the H1B transfer petition to be filed to start work at the new firm?
For example, if I accept an offer 7/1, put in my 2 weeker, am I authorized to begin work on 7/15 or do I have to wait longer for everything to be filed/approved?
Assuming the firm you’re lateraling to pays for premium processing, you’ll get a decision from USCIS within 15 BDs. Out of an abundance of caution, I would recommend only giving notice at your current firm once the transfer is approved.
Thanks again. Just to confirm, timeline will look something like this?
Receive written offer --> accept offer --> new firm applies for H1B transfer petition --> transfer approved --> give 2 weeks notice to my current group --> leave firm same day since i'll be going to a competitor --> chill for 2 weeks before new job
Any updates on your lateral process while on H-1B? Curious about whether this is feasible
Anyone know how much this differs if lateraling on TN visa instead?
