H1B amendment cost and how long it will take? Can I go for premium processing on the H-1B visa?

2 views 3 answers
My question is if I can get an H1B visa with my new employer? Do I need to talk to an immigration lawyer? I’m a former TVU student. My h1b was approved without the i-94 from. My employer applied for the h1b visa through a house project. Now I got a job offer from another client, so I need to get a visa stamp for the new project. Should my employer apply for an h1b amendment before I get my visa stamped? How much does an h1b amendment cost? How long it will take to get my h1b visa amended? Can I go for premium processing on my H1-B?

Yes, you need to speak with an immigration attorney about your H1-B visa processing question. Your question is very unclear. Please repost. The filing fee an h1b amendment is $325.

If you mean to say that a new employer wants to hire you in H-1B status, the employer must file a new visa petition plus all applicable fees for you. Whether you will be able to change your status without leaving the U.S. depends on your current status. It is not clear from your question whether you maintained status. Since you were not issued new I-94 through initial H-1B petition, it did not extend and change it. You better consult with an immigration attorney about your case.
