I was terminated from my H1B job 4 weeks ago and am still in the U.S. Is it still possible to initiate H1B transfer?

Answer

Yes, the H1B can be filed by the new employer even after 4 weeks of unemployment. The issue is how to regain H1B status. This normally cannot be done from within the U.S. when there has been a status lapse. It usually is necessary to go for consular processing. A consultation with your attorney would be helpful on these issues. Attorneys at the Murthy Law Firm are also available to consult on these matters. (10.Aug.2015)
